Vision Statement

My vision for the Wyoming Chapter of the American College of Physicians is as follows. I would continue to promote and support friendship and collegiality among the Wyoming members by continuing to put on the annual September Chapter meeting whether it be here in Wyoming or with one of our surrounding states.

Secondly, I would try to increase the Wyoming Chapter membership. I would do this by traveling to all parts of the state and meeting, personally, with internists who are not members to try to convince them to join. I can do this now that I am retired. Increasing the percentage of internists in this state who belong to the ACP should be our primary goal.
