It has been an honor and deeply gratifying to serve as the NorCal HIMSS president for FY22-23 and to help connect, champion and support Healthcare IT professionals in Northern California. I have been privileged to work alongside and witness the hard work of our board members, committee volunteers and members to provide more training and networking opportunities, a more informative website, and renewed relationships and presence in Sacramento for our advocacy efforts.
