Nominate Yourself or a Colleague for the SAGES Ingenuity Board of Directors
SAGES Ingenuity (SI), a recently incorporated subsidiary of SAGES, is seeking interested candidates to serve on our Board of Directors. SI was established to invest and accelerate innovation in support of the SAGES mission. Our goals are:
- To support SAGES in gaining financial autonomy through alternate revenue streams
- To strategically invest in developing technology in support of surgical innovation
- To pursue financial opportunities and services in support of the SAGES constituency
If you have experience with new business development, startups, investing, and/or venture capital, please use the form below to submit your biosketch and a brief narrative on your qualifications and possible contributions. SAGES Membership is preferred but not required. Emphasis will also be given to elements of diversity across all dimensions, including race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, age, or other aspects that bring a different voice and perspective to SI’s governance. All nominations are confidential and due no later than Friday, September 6, 2024 at 5pm ET.
SI plans to add two Board seats for which their two-year term will begin January 1, 2025. Selected candidates will join current board members: President Aurora Pryor, MD, MBA; Vice President Steve Schwaitzberg, MD; Secretary/Treasurer Adrian Park, MD; Christopher Schlachta, MD (Past SI President); and Andrew Gumbs, MD, MSc.
Note: Service on the SI Board is wholly separate from SAGES and will not impact any future nomination to SAGES Board or leadership position(s). Service will also NOT create a conflict of interest with SAGES CME activities. Please contact info@sages-ingenuity.com with any questions.
