Due to increasing demands on ACAAI Presidents and the rapidly changing social, economic and political environments, the ACAAI Board of Regents has created a new, part-time, salaried position of Executive Medical Director (EMD).

The EMD shall serve as an independent advisor/consultant and report directly to the president. The incumbent shall oversee the strategic vision and goals of the College and monitor the medical and socio-economic issues that may impact the subspecialty of allergy and immunology and shall:

·         Give direction and leadership toward the achievement of ACAAI’s philosophy, mission, strategy, goals and objectives;

·         Complement the elected officers of the College;

·         Hold a non-voting advisory role at the Executive Committee level and cannot override the presidential privilege and decisions;

·         Be dedicated to the conformation and implementation of the strategic plan and the decisions of the Executive Committee.

The role of the EMD will help maintain continuity of projects from one administration to another to provide “institutional memory.” Other areas of responsibility include oversight for education, research, international and public relations programs; income generation; and fostering relationships with other primary care and specialty organizations.

Applicants must be a former member of the ACAAI Board of Regents Executive Committee and, preferably, a past president with business acumen. The individual chosen must have demonstrated integrity and be willing to devote the time and energy necessary to the position.

The ACAAI Search Committee is accepting applications until July 24, 2009.
