Board Leadership: Gloviczki Closes Successful Term as VDF President

At the VDF Board of Directors meeting in Chicago on May 4, 2005, the Directors thanked Peter Gloviczki, MD, for his service as president of the Vascular Disease Foundation (VDF). Chairman Dennis Newman presented a magician's hat to Dr. Gloviczki to represent the magic that he worked while serving as president. Dr. Gloviczki, who is both a renowned vascular surgeon and a world-class magician, wowed the VDF Directors with a few minutes of sleight-of-hand magic. Dr. Gloviczki's leadership, knowledge, and ability to connect with a wide range of vascular experts were wonderful assets that contributed to the growth of the VDF and its work to raise awareness about vascular disease.

Stepping into the president's position is Alain Drooz, MD, who served as president-elect during the past two years. Dr. Drooz is an interventional radiologist in private practice in Virginia. He has been a member of the VDF Board of Directors since 2001. Dr. Drooz' passion for and commitment to the mission of the VDF will become evident as he leads the organization for the next two years.
