Heart Rhythm Society - Presidents

Presidents

Presidents of the Heart Rhythm Society from conception are listed below. Note that the leadership cycle is five years, with service as President being in the fourth year. This allows the Society to project presidents three years hence. Anne M. Gillis, whose election to the Presidency for the 2012-13 term was revealed at the May 2009 meeting of the Society, will become the second non-American to serve in that capacity. The first was Bernard S. Goldman in 1982. Both Dr. Gillis, Medical Director of Cardiac Pacing and Electrophysiology at the Libin Cardiovascular Institute of Alberta, and Dr. Goldman are Canadian.

Famous quotes containing the word presidents:

    “Our presidents have been getting to be synthetic monsters, the work of a hundred ghost- writers and press agents so that it is getting harder and harder to discover the line between the man and the institution.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “You must drop all your democracy. You must not believe in “the people.” One class is no better than another. It must be a case of Wisdom, or Truth. Let the working classes be working classes. That is the truth. There must be an aristocracy of people who have wisdom, and there must be a Ruler: a Kaiser: no Presidents and democracies.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “A president, however, must stand somewhat apart, as all great presidents have known instinctively. Then the language which has the power to survive its own utterance is the most likely to move those to whom it is immediately spoken.”
    —J.R. Pole (b. 1922)
