APPLICANT INTERVIEW Nominating Committee

• Do you have experience in a leadership role? Monitoring and chair to committees is a requirement. She does. She also has facilitator training and is very good at bringing opposite views to a table to facilitate discussion to bring a board to consensus which is important with a board of such strong personalities. She also has organizational experience, some of which has been controversial. She understands that you need to put forward to membership how decisions are made. Example: AANP was approached to do an amicus brief about abortion. The board as well as membership was aggressively split. Once the consensus was made, whether she agreed or not, she had to explain the rationale for the board decision. They only had a 72 hour turn around before the brief went to the Supreme Court. She managed to keep the board cohesive after the controversial decision. She utilized ASAE techniques to succeed and put out a thoughtful letter to membership explaining the whole process and what the deliberations were. • What are the strengths that you would bring to the OMA board? • Do you have any personal obligations that would prevent you from attending OMA board meetings as well as representing OMA at various meetings? Board members are expected to attend the spring and fall conference as well as a winter and summer conference call. In addition, officers are expected to participate in 1-hour monthly conference calls and respond to email within 48 hours. In addition, board participation in electronic votes are required. AANP never conflicts. She just needs to know ahead of time which OMA is good about doing. • Conflict of interest: transaction or relationship which presents or may present a conflict between an individual’s obligations to OMA and the individual’s personal, business or other interests. Ability to recognize and disclose conflicts and potential conflicts. Ability to abstain from a vote or discussion if a conflict arises. Novo Nordisk: no conflicts. She’s very clear about what hat she is wearing in each setting she is in. Any other board positions: Former president and committee chair for AANP but not currently in a leadership role. How long involved in obesity: in 2013 she was asked as the AANP president to represent when TOS was creating guidelines. She happened to sit next to industry leaders and became energized. Dr. Horn encouraged her to practice full time. She’s had her own practice since 2014 as well as speaking and consulting. What do you do to relax: quilt – she raffles them at AANP conferences. She also spends time with her 11 grandchildren. • Do you have any questions about the expectations of OMA Board members? Do you understand the fiduciary duties of loyalty and care to the association? • If you are nominated, are you willing to make a commitment to fulfilling the responsibilities and expectations of your position? o Officer positions: ability to motivate and lead the association membership in a strategic position? Ability to represent and serve as a spokesperson for the association?
