Dear Sir / Dear Madam:

As an experienced high-energy professional, I am skilled in juggling
multiple priorities and seamlessly transitioning between critical
activities. While my primary educational and career foundation lies
in the field of medicine, particularly in gynecologic oncology,
obstetrics and gynecology, I offer 4 years experience as the
Executive Director of the International Gynecologic Cancer Society, a
1,100 member international cancer society.

In serving as the Society's first executive director, I established
its international administrative headquarters, created policies and
procedures, set up tiered dues structures, authored the conflict of
interest policy and 501(c)3 documents and vetted/drew up
international contracts, negotiating with foreign attorneys in their
home offices.

Now, I am seeking new challenges, particularly a senior healthcare
or professional society management position requiring a CEO with
vision, integrity and an intense passion for advancing cancer
prevention, control and treatment options worldwide.
I am able to draw from a wealth of experience and success that
includes the following:
* High profile experience as a tenured university professor and
department chairman, invited guest speaker and visiting
professor/lecturer across the world as well as many peer-reviewed
professional/scientific research articles, abstracts, papers,
chapters and publications.
* A broad range of national and international contacts with
influential opinion makers in international organizations including
internationally renowned academics and practitioners.
oStrategic agility and vision, resulting in organizational success.

I believe my strengths and attributions will bring excellent value
to your organization. I welcome the opportunity to learn about the
challenges your organization faces and to provide you with further
detail about my career achievements and the talents, knowledge,
skills and abilities I bring to the table.

Sincerely,

C502rdh@hotmail.com
