Executives In Residence

Thought Leaders, Giving Back

In 2022, SI announced the development of a new Executives in Residence program—a cadre of C-suite-level executives with strong ties to SI who are looking to start a new professional chapter and find additional ways to “give back” to the industry by assisting with SI’s thought leadership initiatives in new ways.

SI Executives in Residence bring deep professional experiences, breadth of knowledge, industry relationships and keen interest and passion to support SI’s work. They are excellent communicators, facilitators, innovative thinkers and natural engagers, and promise to provide forward momentum and lasting benefit for SI, its Members and the healthcare system at large.

Potential Executive in Residence projects may include:

  • Helping plan SI’s Annual Conference and/or developing Conference components
  • Serving as subject matter experts in co-leading targeted Strategic Partnership Initiatives and subsequent Collaboratives
  • Supporting SI’s strategic development and goals (e.g., growth strategies, industry partnerships, etc.)
  • Contributing thought leadership by identifying, leading and/or moderating specific events [e.g., Webinars, Roundtables, Summits, etc.)
  • Researching and educating SI staff and others on key subjects
  • Providing adjunct support for and with Sponsors and/or Members, as requested
