I am in awe of the dream team of senior staff that our Executive Vice President, Mark Andrejeski, has assembled, and I owe each of them an enormous debt of gratitude: Colleen Merkel, operations and finance; Donna Hoyne, education; Jane Diamond and Nancy Parker, journals; Rachel Myslinski and Amy Miller, practice, quality, and registry; Adam Cooper, government affairs; Mary Wheatley, research and training; Steve Blevins, IT; Joan Roth, communications and marketing (stay tuned for a new website!); Erin Latimer, Simple Tasks; Lisa Amaker, The Lupus Initiative; David Haag, ARHP; Steve Echard and Paula Reed, the Foundation; and last, but certainly not least, Julie Anderson, governance. I am confident that the vision, passion, and commitment of our volunteers and staff place us in an excellent position to advance rheumatology. The future is bright!
