“The College is an organization with a rich heritage and a bright future. We always have been, and will always be, the voice of the practicing allergist. I am excited about the new proposed union between the Advocacy Council and the House of Delegates (HOD). The changes to be announced soon promise to make our HOD stronger and an integral part of our advocacy efforts, not just in Washington, but in each state capital as well. The HOD will be our eyes and ears on the ground in every state, helping to insure we have no more surprises that could potentially impair our ability to mix extracts and offer quality care to our patients. The College is planning to invest significant capitol, both economic and in manpower, to improve our advocacy in each state. It’s always better to be involved in writing legislation than getting it fixed after it’s written. Our new initiative will help make this a reality, and not just a dream in the distant future.”

President-elect
Current Professional/Academic Positions: Professor of Medicine, State University of New York at Stony Brook; Head, Allergy Section, NYU Winthrop Hospital, New York; Fellowship Training Program Director, Allergy and Immunology Fellowship Program, NYU Winthrop Hospital, New York.
“The opportunity to affect meaningful change for our specialty is embodied in the College’s Vision 2020 program. As part of that change, and as a woman and minority in medicine, I would like to focus on diversity, collaboration and expansion in the organization and leadership as a way to strengthen the College. Fellows-in-Training (FITS) are the lifeblood and our future leaders, so continuing to support training programs and FITs is extremely important as well. I imagine, in the future, the College will be at the forefront of education, not only for allergists, but for primary care physicians too. Our future with the College at our side is bright, and I’m happy to be here to help lead the way.”
