Kashwayne Williams, MBA, MHA
Secretary Washington University
Candidate Statement
My educational background includes holding a master’s in business administration and master’s in healthcare administration. For the past two decades I have been working in academic medicine and have found it to be extremely rewarding both personally and professionally.
I joined the Academy of Administrators in Academic Emergency Medicine (AAAEM) in March 2022 and have since served on the Strategic Planning Committee, Education & Professional Development Committee and Membership Committee. Currently I serve on the Strategic Planning Committee (Co-Chair) and the Education & Professional Development Committee (member). In addition, I’ve served as Member-at-Large on the Executive Committee for the past two (2) years, gaining valuable experience and insights into the operations, capabilities and potential of the Academy.
My first involvement with the Strategic Planning Committee was a good way to get insights and understanding of the academy. I actively participated in the reviewing and updating of the current strategic plan as a charge from the Executive Committee. Having the opportunity to review what our current strategic initiatives were and what our future goals are were immensely beneficial for me personally. Since then, I’ve played an active role in the development and enhancement of our current strategic plan and remain active with that committee.
Finally, I’m looking forward to leveraging my experience so far as a Member-at-Large for two terms and active committee member on various committees to further serve the academy in the capacity of Secretary. It would be a distinct honor to serve in such a role. I hope that my experience through the Strategic Planning and Education committees will allow me to further assist with advancing the mission and core principles of the Academy in the areas of knowledge creation/dissemination, education advocacy and professional development.
