Introduction
Development of future leaders is one of the most important activities of any not-for-profit organization. Leaders possess the qualities necessary to lead an organization, provide a strategic direction, and ensure the growth of a profession.
In order to remain a strong and vibrant organization that can effectively champion the sub-specialty of shoulder and elbow surgery within the context of the national and international orthopaedic community, it is imperative that a diverse group of future leaders is developed to assume leadership roles for the organization in the years to come.
ASES highly values its volunteer leaders’ expertise, dedication, time commitment, integrity, and ideas that contribute to the advancement of research, education, and clinical practice in shoulder and elbow surgery.
