Dear Valued Members and Friends of Dermatology- 

I can't believe it. Fall Symposium is here!

As the team prepares to welcome our members, speakers, exhibitors and industry partners to beautiful Carlsbad, I find myself so incredibly grateful for the countless extra miles that our volunteers and team members have put in behind the scenes.

Am I surprised about the endless passion of our volunteers? Not in the slightest. Because in my short time with CalDerm, I have been overwhelmed by the drive to not just do good, but do more, be more, and provide exemplary care for the communities that the profession serves.

Being surrounded by a community of do-gooders, quite frankly, is what I've personally been searching for. Perhaps it's my heritage (I come from generations of public servants in my home country - India - but that's a story for another day) - or the reminders of service brought to the forefront with the passing of Queen Elizabeth - service has been the focus of my daily reflection moments. So much so, that I found myself grateful for the opportunity to serve in ways previously unimagined! 

Some of these ways you'll hear about at Fall Symposium (pro-tip, you'll want to listen to Dr. Ann Haas' Legislative Update), and others, if you happen to have a conversation with me about pigeons and the recent Heat Wave. I say this to say, that I know I'm a better person because of CalDerm and am constantly inspired by the extra miles you challenge me to go without any hesitation.

As we head into Fall Symposium, I offer a sincere note of thanks. I am so grateful to experience the good nature of the profession, to witness the depth of your care for your patients, and for your colleagues. Your passion drives the CalDerm team and I to deliver services that go the extra mile, always.

In gratitude,
