July Roundtable Recap

 

Thank you to those who were able to hop on the call for our first official Ambassador Roundtable discussion.  We hope that you found the meeting beneficial and informative regarding your role as an IMS Ambassador.

 

Recap:

Alison Lynch, MD, IMS President, kicked off the call to express the Board of Directors' thanks to all who have agreed to be IMS Ambassadors for their clinics.  

 

Steve Churchill, IMS CEO, went through the IMS Ambassador Role and Responsibilities.  The document that was referenced is linked HERE.

 

Seth Brown, Director of Government Relations, gave a presentation about how to talk about advocacy at a high level in the interim.  Please reach out if you would like a copy of his presentation.

 

IMS Committees are calling!

 

IMS committees are a powerful way to make your voice heard and shape the future of medicine in Iowa. Whether your passion lies in advocacy, education, or physician wellness, there’s a place for you at the table. As an ambassador, you’re already a vital connector—consider taking the next step by joining a committee, and don’t forget to encourage your colleagues to do the same. Together, we can build a stronger, more unified physician community.

 

To join a committee, please email Grace Fleming (gfleming@iowamedical.org).

 

Announcements and Reminders

  • Please complete this form if you have not already to ensure we have the most accurate contact information as an ambassador.
