A Message from Deborah Croy, Newly Elected President of the Southeast Lipid Assocation

I am both honored and humbled to be chosen as your next president of SELA. I am fully aware I walk in the footsteps of giants in the field.

When reflecting on the direction of SELA over the next year, three words come to mind – diversity, disparities and dissemination. First, it is my hope that we can continue to increase our membership by inviting potential members of all eligible disciplines.

Diversity in the team makes us stronger and more able to meet the often complex and challenging needs of our patients. Cardiovascular disease remains higher in the underserved population and, I hope we can work together to determine innovative ways to reach those with health disparities. The members of our organization are among the most brilliant researchers/practitioners in the industry.

Dissemination of knowledge from our experts to those on the forefront of patient care is vitally important. Remember this is your organization and your input is both welcomed and encouraged. I look forward to working with each of you in the coming year. Bring a friend and lend a hand!

Sincerely,
Deborah Croy, DNP, ANP-BC, AGPCNP-BC, CLS, FNLA
President of the Southeast Lipid Association
