I wrote this in the Minneapolis airport
on my way home from Kansas City following the AAFP's National Conference and our
inaugural Family Medicine Leads Emerging Leader Institute. I'm reasonably sure that my body was
depleted of ALL adrenaline by the experience. Not only is NC an inherently
high-energy event, but for me it included presentations with our President-Elect
Evelyn Lewis&Clark on Family Medicine Cares (FMC), co-presenting with Dr.
Yerba Castellos-Lopes on her project for the FMC Resident Service Award, time
spent with our Foundation staff in our exhibit hall booth, and time staffing in
the FMAHealth booth.
Rest assured that your Foundation was a visible, verbal, and notable presence at National Conference. We were recognized throughout the event both for our sponsorship of Family Medicine Leads Scholarships and by Main Stage speakers who commented spontaneously that giving to the Foundation and FamMedPAC was an "obligation" of leaders in the organization. DONATE TODAY!

| 2015 FML Emerging Leader Institute Scholars |
We started with a breakfast meeting on Thursday of National Conference, assembling the 30 students and residents to get them oriented, acquainted with one another (and with us) and to express to them the importance of their time in Kansas City. We took group pictures, handed out their certificates, and escorted them into the VIP seating for the opening Main Stage presentation. The theme of Thursday for the FML Emerging Leader Institute Scholars was about being mindful of your past and aware of your present as a pre-requisite for becoming the leader you want to be in the future. My breakfast remarks reflected on the traits in my own family tree that make me who I am as a leader and began to get them thinking about their own stories and plans for the future.
On Saturday and Sunday we brought the scholars to the AAFP Foundation headquarters in Leawood for, I am convinced,
the best leadership development conference around. We started with a welcome
from Dr. Henley and a formal inaugural address from me. The address drew on
inaugural messages from U.S. Presidents "re-worded" to put them in the context
of the FML Emerging Leader Institute.

From there, I should let the pictures do the talking. We
learned together, laughed together, played games, had snacks, toured the
headquarters, and ate dinner. Following our meal we had a presentation from Dr.
Angee McDaniel from Pfizer about the importance of mending the relationship
between industry and the house of medicine, and from Mr. Neal Sharma an influential KC business man who comes from a family of physicians. Neal spoke about
applying innovative entrepreneurial skills in healthcare. Sunday we spent the day preparing the scholars for the projects they will undertake in the months ahead, wished them well, packed them back on the coach bus, and sent them off
to the airport.I know this post can never reflect the rich and robust "feel" of our inaugural FML Emerging Leader Institute, but let me tell you that we (your AAFP Foundation leadership and staff) feel that something deeply important for the discipline of Family Medicine just happened, and we couldn't be happier that it started at the AAFP Foundation. I have a sense that I will look back some day and say, "I was there when..."
My congratulations and I hope the best for the future! Greetings, Daniel
