Visionary Leadership
Today’s leadership of the WSMA--not surprisingly—looks quite a bit
different than it did in the early days. In fact, today 49% of WSMA’s
membership is female, and the organization is also actively pursuing
diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts to help ensure that our future
physician population reflects the actual patient population being served
in our state.
