Leadership ExperienceUniversity of Florida Minority Mentoring Program [UMMP]From 1999 to 2004, I was mentor, cluster leader and Vice Chair of a university-wideprogram for incoming undergraduate students to enhance their collegiate experience.This program, an initiative of the Provost’s Office, matches a first-yearundergraduate student with a faculty or staff mentor to assist with the student’stransition to college. With approximately 15,000 minority students, this program ison of the largest university wide programs. As mentor I directly engaged students inseveral scheduled one-to-one meetings to learn about potential challenges and waysto facilitate success. As cluster leader I organized activities that provided studentsexposure to various research laboratories across campus. After being a successfulcluster leader, I was asked to co-chair the program to provide guidance onprogrammatic decisions and the future direction of the program which is nowconsidered a key element of student retention at the University of Florida.Chair, UAB Faculty SenateAfter having served on UAB’s Faculty Senate, I was elected senate chair in 2013. Thesenate of UAB consists of 64 senators which represent over 2,400 faculty membersfrom eleven schools. During my tenure, I chaired thirteen monthly general FacultySenate meetings and an equal number of face-to-face meetings with UAB’s Presidentand Provost. I represented UAB’s faculty in many formal and informal gatheringsand to the Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama system. My proudestaccomplishment is my key role in fashioning an agreement by the University ofAlabama system which is of pivotal importance to safeguard our university andcommunity for the potentially devastating effect of a surface coal mine at theShephard Bend of the Black Warrior River, a victory for the university as well as theprimarily African-American community that would have suffered fromcontamination of the drinking water. Most recently, I received the highest number ofvotes in senate elections again representing the School of Medicine once again.Director of the Division in Obstetric AnesthesiaI have directed the anesthesiology division of Obstetric Anesthesia at the Universityof Florida (1999-2004) and was hired to implement the same type of program at UAB(2004-2006). This involves a coordinated approach to working with Neonatologists,Anesthesiologists) nurses, nurse practitioners and administrative staff to provide acollaborative approach to the care of the pregnant patient and her newborn. Inaddition to clinical care, this involves the development and implementation of variouseducational and research programs as well as providing guidance on budgetarymatters.6
Program Director of the Division in Obstetric AnesthesiaStarting in 2010, I established a Fellowship program in Obstetric Anesthesiology atUAB. After successfully graduating two fellows, I led the program through theaccreditation process by the American College of Graduate Medical Education(ACGME) which was completed in 2014. On a national level, I am advising thefellowship committee for the Society for Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology onefforts to share regulatory and educational resources for program directors acrossacademic institution.Board of Directors Member, Society of Obstetric Anesthesia and PerinatologyI advise the Society of Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology on strategic decisionsabout budgets, membership services, and scientific and programmatic goals andcoordinate all media related affairs in my role as board of directors member andmedia committee chair. In that capacity I have reviewed large ( 1 million) budgetsand developed student and professional society programs and utilized and analyzeddata to arrive at strategic decisions as rational basis for strategic changes.Media Committee Chair and Newsletter EditorAs one of the largest anesthesiology subspecialty societies, the Society of ObstetricAnesthesia and Perinatology publishes three newsletters each year. This processrequires close collaboration with our management company, the development ofthematic priorities for articles and the coordination of a team of editors and authorsas well as the dissemination of content promoting the society’s three nationalmeetings. Another important responsibility is in oversight of our website and thedirection of the subcommittees for social media (primarily Facebook and Twitter).Community RelationshipsKey characteristics of a leader in diversity, equity and inclusiveness require closerelationships with the Community. To that end, I have established close relationshipswith various key constituents of the Birmingham community, most importantly avery close relationship with Mayor William H. Bell in my role as Multicultural AffairsAdvisor. Diversity and Inclusion programs do not stop at the edge of a college campus.They have to be coordinated with community leaders. Having established those tieswill be invaluable for the university representative of diversity, equity and inclusion.7

I have been supporting research of African Americanstudents, trainees and faculty to engage in relevant research and present at theannual meeting of the NMA. I have also been invited as honorary guest lecturer tothe NMA conference and promoted African American investigators at that event. Partof my research has been dedicated to racial disparities in maternal care, a topic of8
particular interest to the NMA.National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc.I served on the Gainesville chapter of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Inc. (NPHC)from 2001 to 2003. The organization is currently composed of nine historically AfricanAmerican International Greek letter Sororities and Fraternities. The NPHCpromotes interaction through forums, meetings and other mediums for the exchangeof information and engages in cooperative programming and initiatives throughvarious activities and functions.Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.I am a current member and past officer and executive board member of theGainesville alumni chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, Inc., a historically African Americancollege Fraternity. In these roles I have been the undergraduate student adviser toseveral classes of college students, I have raised funds from local businesses andcorporations to support scholarships and community projects, helped developnational health initiatives and programs to increase college participation of minoritystudents.Prince Hall FreemasonryAs Prince Hall Freemason - the first African American fraternal organization inNorth America - I have promoted the organization’s principle that tolerance ofanother’s view of government and nature is to be preserved. I facilitated aconversation between the African American Grand Lodge of Alabama and thetraditionally Caucasian Grand Lodge of Alabama by forging an alliance initiated bythe Supreme Council, Scottish Rite (Southern Jurisdiction, USA).Minority Health & Health Disparities Research CenterI am a mentor of UAB’s Minority Health & Health Disparities Research Center(MHRC) is a comprehensive educational, research and community outreach centerfocused on eliminating the health disparities of racial/ethnic minorities. I havementored Tuskegee university students as part of the summer enrichment programto provide an avenue for exposure to the medical field and the field of anesthesiologyand research in general.Community Initiatives and EngagementI have supported the United Negro College Fund [UNCF] and Historically BlackColleges and Universities (HBCUs) in general since 1992. Independently, I haveraised funds for scholarships to benefit those in financial need. In Gainesville, FL and9
Lake City, FL, I have initiated and coordinated a community program with the goalof purchasing and delivering Christmas gifts to foster children. As part of thecommunity outreach, I have visited K1-12 schools located in economicallydisadvantaged neighborhoods to inspire children to value education and make theright choices in their lives.Women’s AdvocacyAs Chair of the Faculty Senate, I moderated the consideration of several Women’sissues. Chief among them was the issue of childcare, which remains a potentialchallenge for women with young children. The discussions revealed that, at UAB,more needs to be done to support women, but more generally families with youngchildren. As an anesthesiologist with specialty training in Obstetric Anesthesiology,I have been promoting access to pain relief during childbirth for over two decades ona national and international level through my research and leadership in the Societyof Obstetric Anesthesia and Perinatology. Once believed to be an optional treatmentthat was reserved for some women and denied to others, pain relief is now considereda Women’s right. Yet another important women’s and minority issue is the racialdisparity in maternal deaths noted by researchers across the US. I initiated a studyat UAB to investigate this topic. Published in 2014, we discovered that maternaldeath data did not support racial disparity in maternal deaths but suggested thataccess to a tertiary care medical facilities in terms of the residential distance is apredictor of maternal death. These results help us focus on health care policy changesneeded to improve maternity care, a fundamental issue of Women’s Rights in the USand worldwide.Jewish Community AdvocacyDuring my tenure as Senator and Chair of the Faculty Senate, the Academic boycottof Israel was discussed. I personally pushed for a clear statement against a politicallymotivated discrimination against this boycott at UAB as a profoundly unjust systemof discrimination.LGBT Community AdvocacyAs Chair of the Faculty Senate I worked with my appointed representative. Severalissues of the LGBT community were raised but particular concern arose around theissue of qualified counseling services to LGBT individuals. As a result of thisdiscussion and the forethought of others we now have dedicated support in thestudent health center. This is an example of a change that served a need of the LGBTstudent community at UAB. I envision those types of support services to becomeavailable to the university community in general.10
