That’s not a very nimble governance model, though it is a common approach. May be time to re-think how that fails to help the society reflect its members rather than protecting the status quo.

Extremely disappointing presidential address at the STS meeting and so far an inadequate response from the Society. I wasn’t at the meeting and would be happy to watch the address for myself, but STS isn’t making it available.

While STS has necessarily distanced itself from this address, this should spur some substantive changes in the society. The Nominating Committee who effectively decides the next year’s leadership should not just consist of the last 5 living STS presidents.

STS’s Board of Directors should be more prominent and should include substantive numbers of early career, underrepresented minority, community and academic surgeons. STS leadership should look like the body of surgeons we aspire to be, and the patients we serve.
