Thank you @CHemansMD for your considered comment at the #CMAagm about the optics of voting against the motion that would install the first indigenous president of @CMA_Docs

I am looking forward to the vision and leadership of @AlikaMD (passed 87.5% in favour)

Thank you to @DrRFernandez for the reminder of these powerful words.

What is it going to take to make change?

Stay tuned #CMAagm
