Serving Those Who Have Served

dAutor

As I write this note, we are at the height of the COVID-19 crisis. This situation has changed all of our lives in many ways small and large. While we all work to care for ourselves and our families during this time, we are also reminded that FDA is working hard for all of us. We all know from personal experience how dedicated and relentless the agency is during a crisis, and we all undoubtedly have our current and former colleagues at FDA closely in our thoughts during this difficult time. This situation makes it even more important that we think carefully about how FDAAA can best achieve our goal of "Serving Those Who Served."

aSayler-revised

The first year serving as your President has been an exciting challenge, particularly as I got to know and work together with incoming Chair Deb Autor, Co-Chair Dr. Robert Brackett, Vice President Anne Marie Finley, new and existing Board members, Committee Chairs and members and all of you dedicated current and former FDA'ers.

It was also a year of transition as the organization did some refocusing of leadership responsibilities and priorities with Deb, Anne Marie and I dividing up responsibilities for overseeing and supporting all of the FDAAA Committees.

The FDAAA wishes to Thank Dr. Fauci

You might have noticed Dr. Fauci has been in the forefront of dealing with the Coronavirus Crisis and COVID-19. In 2018, The FDA Alumni Association presented our most prestigious Harvey W. Wiley award to Dr. Anthony Fauci, MD. Dr. Fauci represents the best qualities in our career federal scientists. Our association is proud to recognize him for all that he does for every citizen in this country. Dr. Fauci is the Director, National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, within the National Institute of Health.

The goals of this relationship are to share knowledge, experiences, organizational values, and encouragement with Learners in the continued development of management techniques, desired behavioral traits and leadership competencies.

Late 2019 saw a transition for the Associate Member Liaison Committee with new chair, Huong Huynh, Ph.D. With coordinated efforts and support from the Board, the Liaison Committee has held monthly meetings since January 2020 and developed the following mission statement. The committee members have identified four pillars on which the committee will focus to meet its mission statement.
