Scott W. Yates, MD, FACP, Nominations Committee Chair and TAIM President-Elect

The TAIM Nominations Committee is pleased to announce an outstanding slate of candidates for election to the TAIM Board of Directors. On behalf of the committee, I would like to express our appreciation to those who submitted nominations. Our Chapter is fortunate to have members who are willing to devote time and energy in a volunteer leadership role on behalf of our profession and our patients.

The committee worked diligently to select members and Fellows of the ACP who represent the diversity of our Chapter membership. See links below for candidate bios. Directors serve a three-year term. The president-elect advances to president in November 2009.

The slate will be presented to the Chapter membership for a vote during the annual business meeting and awards luncheon Saturday, Nov. 3, in Dallas. In accordance with the bylaws, members may make additional nominations from the floor.

Please congratulate and thank these physicians for their willingness to serve in a leadership capacity for our chapter:
