AHLA has been my professional anchor since the very beginning of my career. It's not just an organization; it's a vibrant community of health law professionals, a wellspring of knowledge, and a catalyst for career growth. As a partner at Venable in New York, I rely on AHLA daily for a wealth of information delivered through newsletters, publications, and conferences. This resource-rich environment is indispensable for staying at the forefront of the ever-changing health care and corporate landscapes.

As a member of AHLA’s Board of Directors, I have had the privilege of working on AHLA’s strategic plan and I am genuinely excited about AHLA's potential to shape the future of health care. It is vital that the Association continues to support its members as they move health care systems forward. I am encouraged by AHLA leaders who brainstorm innovative ways to empower its members and drive progress. I look forward to seeing how AHLA leaders will create more opportunities for members of diverse backgrounds to connect and learn from one another and help the next generation develop into future leaders. 

One aspect close to my heart is AHLA's unwavering support for newcomers. Whether these new members are starting out as new associates or professionals making a career change, AHLA supplies educational content and networking opportunities that provides new members with the footing they need to succeed.

I am optimistic about AHLA's future, especially in fostering diverse connections and nurturing the next generation of leaders. Together, we will continue to advance health care and make a lasting impact.
