In memoriam: Dianne S. Ward, EdD, FACSM
We mourn the loss of Southeast ACSM member Dianne S. Ward, EdD, FACSM, who passed away last week. Dr. Ward was a respected teacher, mentor, and researcher at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Her research at the UNC Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HPDP) impacted both the scientific community as well as the people in the local community. Within our chapter, Dr. Ward was a Member-at-Large on the Executive Board in 1990–1992, elected President in 1998, Montoye Scholar Award Winner in 2013, and a founding member of the Women's Breakfast. Beyond her teaching, research, and leadership accomplishments, Dr. Ward was a beloved colleague and friend by many in our region and beyond.

Mentoring opportunity through the ACSM Strategic Health Initiative for Women, Sport, and Physical Activity
The goal of the ACSM Strategic Health Initiative for Women, Sport, and Physical Activity (SHI-Women) is to address current issues facing women's health and fitness through clinical practice, research, public information, advocacy, and leadership/mentoring programs. Currently, females represent approximately 50% of the ACSM membership. Yet, less than 25% of those women have achieved fellowship status. Please consider volunteering to help the SHI-Women in building its mentoring program.
Any ACSM member in good standing who has achieved fellowship status is eligible to be a mentor. The commitment to serve is for a minimum of 3 months. For more specific information regarding the Mentoring Women to Fellowship Program, you can view the ACSM Become a Mentor webpage.
You can learn more about this and other volunteer opportunities in our region on our website. If you are interested in helping us plan and run the 2024 Annual Meeting, we will be issuing a new call for volunteers in August. |
