2008 WSMA Leadership Development Conference
Friday, May 16 - Saturday, May 17
Dear Colleague:
Please plan to join us at the WSMA Leadership Development Conference—Ethics into Action—May 16 and 17 at Campbell's Resort on Lake Chelan. This has become known as one of the best meetings in the Northwest, and not one to miss.
This year's conference will feature a truly outstanding faculty and will include a mix of plenary and interactive breakout sessions. These sessions are designed to enhance your leadership skills and provide practical information that you can use as soon as you get home. Our goal is to provide you with useful concrete ideas and skills, regardless of the type or size or your organization.
Friday's plenary presenters will include nationally known health care expert Jamie Orlikoff, who will provide an in-depth session on Effective Leadership and Governance for High Performing Healthcare Organizations; Joe Bujack, who will talk about Barriers to Effective Physician Leadership; and John Coombs, who will provide insights on Medical Leadership: Focusing on Process Improvement. At Friday night's dinner Jody Urqhart will provide a unique look at what it takes to have The Nerve to Serve. On Saturday, David Thomas will talk about Integrity—The Most Important Leadership Characteristic.
This is a great line-up of thought-provoking speakers!
Breakout sessions will cover how to tell medicine's story, leadership and career satisfaction, approaches to effective change management, coaching and mentoring difficult people and more.
The conference is held in conjunction with the WSMA Board of Trustees retreat, and leadership participants are invited to attend the Board dinner on Saturday night as well as the Board meeting on Sunday morning. You can use the free time on Saturday afternoon to spend quality time with your family at a resort setting, network with colleagues, play golf, tour some of the newest and best wineries, relax and read a good book, or bring your board and have your own strategic planning retreat.
I'm looking forward to this year's conference and hope to see you there. I'm confident you will find it informative, thought provoking and energizing.
Sincerely,
Brian P. Wicks, MD, President
