PRESIDENT'S VISION STATEMENT

The Texas Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has a long history and tradition of excellence in promoting the art and science of women’s health care in the state. I would like to build on this expansive foundation and move forward in the areas of advocacy in Austin on behalf of patients and practitioners, resident education and research, and relevant communication with today’s ob/gyn physicians.

As with any organization, TAOG must adapt to a changing demographics and needs of its members. To make this transition, I hope to guide TAOG to wisely use the precious resources entrusted by its members, identify those areas that should be emphasized and down-size those activities which don’t seem to bring as much value to the members, continue to build strong alliances with like-minded organizations to be unified in voice and purpose, and to recruit each ob/gyn physician and resident in Texas to be a member of TAOG.

Our values include integrity, compassion, transparency, honesty, collaboration, mutual respect, and a pursuit for excellence.

I welcome your comments and suggestions to improve our organization and our value to our members.
