We are confident she will ensure that all Society initiatives serve to efficiently and measurably enhance and grow the Society’s membership, value proposition, and brand reputation.”

At the American Nurses Association (ANA) she served as its deputy executive director. She also served as director of public affairs at the American Psychological Association (APA) and director of corporate communications at the American Institutes for Research (AIR).

“Joining the Endocrine Society represents a great opportunity to be at the heart of some of the biggest public health challenges such as obesity, diabetes, infertility, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals that could be impacting our environment,” Wyatt says. “The world’s clinical endocrinologists, scientists, and researchers are at the front lines of some of the most significant national and global health challenges, so I am thrilled to join a great team and the Society’s members in tackling this important work both at home and abroad.”
