Meet your SGFP Governance Executive Members
Dear SGFP Members,
We’re proud to have a strong, committed team leading our section. To help you get to know them better, several members of our Governance Executive have created a short video sharing their background and their vision for family medicine in Ontario.
These “Get to Know Your Executive” videos are part of our ongoing outreach effort; strengthening SGFP’s brand, recognizing the work of our leadership, and highlighting the value of your Consituency Fees. These dedicated individuals bring a wide range of experience and expertise to the table, united by a shared commitment to tackling the challenges facing family medicine and advocating for the future of our profession.
The two-minute videos, linked below, offer a glimpse into the passionate leadership working on your behalf.
Warm Regards,
Dr. Dave Barber
Chair, SGFP
