Why Are You Running For This Position?
I am interested in this position as both a practitioner and researcher in the field of degenerative neurological disease. For the past ten years, I have dedicated my professional energy toward the improvement of treatment and understanding the conditions broadly defined as neurodegenerative diseases. I believe the degenerative diseases special interest group (DD SIG) has a unique ability to bring together students and clinicians interested in addressing the particular challenges and rewards of working with patients who have a degenerative neurological disease. The people selected to lead this group will have a profound impact on the tone and direction of the SIG as well as the spirit of the group so important to maintaining a networking function. As someone familiar with many areas of the field, I think I would have the ability to continue the work so many of our members have begun. I would be honored to be elected Chair of the DD SIG.
