That’s not a very nimble governance model, though it is a common approach. May be time to re-think how that fails to help the society reflect its members rather than protecting the status quo.

The Latino Surgical Society (LSS) issues this statement to express solidarity w our thoracic surgery colleagues incl. surgical trainees & aspiring students.
We share the disappointment in the remarks shared during the Presidential Address of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS)
Extremely disappointing presidential address at the STS meeting and so far an inadequate response from the Society. I wasn’t at the meeting and would be happy to watch the address for myself, but STS isn’t making it available.
This Post is from an account that no longer exists. Learn more
While STS has necessarily distanced itself from this address, this should spur some substantive changes in the society. The Nominating Committee who effectively decides the next year’s leadership should not just consist of the last 5 living STS presidents.
