Welcome to the FMEC Board!
|
Involving residents in a substantive way in the FMEC has been a challenge. The Board decided to invite residents associated with the Host Organizations to join the Board during the year before the annual meeting. The residents will serve a one year term that provides them an opportunity to share their perspective during the annual winter Board meeting and through the months prior to the annual meeting. We are pleased that Drs. Gilman and Nolan are willing to join us for 2016.
