RAPS Fellows require a unique dedication to the regulatory field that is illustrated by a history of commitment and success. It's what you do outside of your "9 to 5" that will make you a strong Fellow candidate. You mentor, write articles, volunteer your time, speak at conferences, you go above and beyond your job description to nurture the profession-these are the things that set you apart from your peers and the attributes we are seeking.

- @Lisa Baumhardt– Senior Manager of Global Regulatory Affairs Artificial Intelligence Strategy for Watson Health Imaging, an IBM Company

Congratulations to all! Thank you for your dedication and impact you have had on RAPS and the community.
Sincerely,
Wes
