In the past 18 months he has forged stronger relationships with key stakeholders and partners within the arthritis community. His solid understanding of the research landscape and desire to support Canadians affected by arthritis are steering The Society's ongoing work and ensuring that its mission is upheld. His personal belief in The Society's vision of a "World without arthritis" provides the inspiration to continue to build relationships with partners, government and stakeholders to ensure the needs of the nearly 4.5 million Canadians with arthritis are acknowledged and acted upon.
