I couldn't let the summer finish up without talking about my wonderful colleagues this summer! The HECMA Leadership Team is made up of 10 members who represent the needs and desires of the membership as a whole. They work tirelessly throughout the year to provide professional development and networking opportunities to HECMA members and support the growing profession of higher education case management.
& so here they are!
This picture was taken on the night after the LT's Annual Meeting which occurs the day before the conference begins. You may notice that there are more than 10 people in that picture, & you're right! Each year at the annual conference is the transition meeting between LT members. This year the Director of Training and Development, Director of Operations and Strategic Planning, and the Non-Clinical Case Manager at Large transitioned. Below I've listed the names, LT positions, & institutions of each of the LT members (pictured above left to right)!

Sean Joy, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Gonzaga University
Dr. David Wiltshire, Director of Marketing and Communications, Duke University

As the first HECMA intern, I am honored to be a part of this Leadership Team. To say this summer wouldn't have been the same without them would be an understatement and I look forward to continuing to work alongside these professionals in the years to come.
