On Saturday, WAFP held our 2019 Virtual Annual Business Meeting. While we’ve held an annual meeting every year of our 70-year existence, Saturday marked our 5th consecutive year offering the meeting as a virtual webinar. Members from across the state joined us to hear updates on Academy activities, to preview the 2019 strategic plan, and to vote on our new officers and directors. Congratulations to our newly elected slate of leaders!

*We are looking for inspiring stories of family physician leaders.

Nurturing and Developing Family Physician Leaders is one of four areas of focus in the WAFP’s strategic plan. As part of our goal to nurture the development of family physician leaders in their communities, practices, and within the Academy at both the state and national level, we will continue to publish Leadership Spotlight’s on our website and in our newsletters as a way to highlight the successes and accomplishments of our members.
