“Before we end the meeting, I would like to thank our staff, without whom none of this would have been possible …” I can’t count how many times I said that or something similar when I was the American College of Physicians’ (ACP) Rhode Island Chapter Governor or Chair of the ACP Board of Regents or Board of Governors. While I meant it, such a brief thanks now seems inadequate given my growing appreciation for the importance of professional society staff to the success of an organization.
If the members are the life blood of a professional society, the staff is the vascular system. Whether it is a county or state medical society, a state chapter of a national specialty society, or a national organization, the volunteer physician leadership cannot give the members their dues dollars’ worth without a dedicated team of professional staff supporting those efforts.
