SSH Board of Directors Elections have been announced!

The SSH Board of Directors elections have closed and the Executive Committee have ratified the results of the elections (per bylaws requirements). Thank you for your participation! Please welcome the following individuals as the newest members of the SSH Board beginning 1/14/2025: 

President Elect

Aaron Calhoun, MD, FAAP, FSSH

"As president, my first goal is to strengthen and expand the SSH Fund. Launched in parallel with the 2023 Research Summit, this initiative represents a clear trajectory toward the establishment of SSH as a world-class promoter of research, innovation, and scholarship. Though we have made great strides toward this over the past years, there is still further to go. By focusing on the fund’s long-term growth, we can maximize SSH’s impact on knowledge generation and, ultimately, patient care."

Secretary

Connie Lopez, MSN, CNS, CHSE-A, FSSH, CPHRM

"Currently, serving on the SSH Board of Governance and Board of Directors as an At-Large member has given me a strategic overview of the organization's operations and objectives. This experience has deepened my understanding of SSH's mission and vision, and I am committed to furthering these goals as Secretary."

Director At Large

Tonya Schneidereith, PhD, MBA, CRNP, PPCNP-BC, CPNP-AC, CNE, CHSE-A, ANEF, FSSH, FAAN

"I want to voice the concerns of the smaller programs who need the support of SSH. I envision creating more outreach to support the great work that is already being done with very few resources. I bring a skill set of pedagogical expertise, international presence, and knowledge of executive leadership to support the work developing within the current BOD, while considering changes that may need to be made to address our entire community."
