On June 26, the MSDC Board of Directors approved three major changes to MSDC governance. More information and impacts on MSDC members will be shared in the near future.

1. The Board approved a new strategic plan by a unanimous vote. MSDC last did strategic planning in 2017 and the new plan recognizes both the changes and continuing challenges the Society faces. You can see the new strategic plan here.
2. As part of the strategic plan, the Board also approved a new Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging statement. This is the first time MSDC has had such a statement. Created by a Board subcommittee and approved by the entire Board, the statement recognizes past mistakes but focuses on a more equitable future for DC medicine where all patients and physicians feel welcome.
3. Finally, the Board approved a new tiered membership plan for DC area physicians. For the first time, DC area physicians can choose between two different tiers of membership, both with different benefits and prices. The Board also approved new rates for MSDC membership in 2024. You can read more about those changes here.

The next MSDC Board of Directors meeting is September 18, 2023 at 6:30 PM. Members in good standing may request an invitation to attend by emailing hay [at] msdc.org.
