In this episode, I speak with Jane Aguirre, the Vice President of Membership and Global Alliances for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Over her distinguished 42-year career with the Academy, she has held several positions and led numerous important initiatives and programs. Despite her numerous accomplishments and accolades with and from the academy over her career, however, perhaps her most personally cherished and ultimately lasting legacy is the integral and foundational role she’s played in the development of the academy’s DEI initiatives over the last decade. There is such a palpable energy and enthusiasm in her voice when talking about these initiatives, that I could think of no one better to speak with about the academy’s commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion and what it is doing to address these and other issues.
