HFES Presidential Town Hall in Review
Posted May 07, 2025
Hello all. I’m doing this a little differently this month because I want to reach out to you all, and at the same time, I’m trying to do that whole “work smarter, not harder” thing. SO, I’m sharing an edited version of the PowerPoint that I presented during the Town Hall on Monday, May 5 [line here].
There is a lot going on—challenges with the submission process for ASPIRE, challenges with funding for HF/E science and practice, challenges for getting travel funds to ASPIRE and more. Even within all of these challenges, there are plenty of positive things to share and celebrate. I hope you’ll take a few moments to see these in the PowerPoint or take a bit more time and listen to the recording of the Town Hall [link to recording] to hear my thoughts as well. Regardless, please take good care of yourself and yours. Friends and colleagues, these are uncertain and stressful times. One thing we always know is that the smile of a friend, the hug of a loved one, the reassurance of Spring’s flowers coming again are good things that we can rely upon. Take a breath and celebrate those.
