Staff Changes Reflect the Society’s Ongoing Growth

As the Endocrine Society realigns various departments, a variety of staff changes have taken place throughout the organization. Several new employees have come on board in the last few weeks, demonstrating the Society’s remarkable growth in a variety of departments and initiatives.

Michelle Klinke joined the Society in August as the new director, Education. Michelle has extensive association education experience having worked at the American Society of Hematology, American College of Cardiology, and most recently at the American Society for Radiology. Michelle is expected to hit the ground running to help with ENDO and our various education products.

Antoinette Wrighton is the new senior managing editor in the Publications Department. She joined the Society in September. Aside from having an extensive background in publications (journals, articles, books, supplements), she has worked as a technical editor, director of editorial services, and production editor. She is also a seasoned manager who takes pride in mentoring and developing staff. Wrighton comes to us from NIH (NIHMS editorial team) where she has been for two years, after previous roles with the Optical Society of America and W.B. Saunders Company.

Anu Prabhala also came on board in September as the marketing manager, Publications. She is an experienced publishing professional with more than 10 years’ experience managing editorial and marketing initiatives in non-profits/associations including the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and the Council for Exceptional Children, as well as Agora Publishing. She has a demonstrable track record of developing and implementing strategic marketing plans that have resulted in increased publication and product visibility and corresponding annual revenue growth.

Dennis Harris has been promoted to associate director, Content Strategy & Outcomes, after more than two years as manager, Educational Research and Outcomes. When he first started at the Society, Harris worked independently to create a new outcomes reporting framework that highlight our success to faculty, planning committee members and funders. Last fall he served as the staff leader for the very successful PPTOX meeting, which had record attendance and generated more than 80 new members from the endocrine-disrupting chemicals field. In addition, Harris has contributed greatly to the Society’s fundraising successes through his grant writing efforts, including more than $1 million dollars in CMES programs in just the last year.
