BALTIMORE, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Carolyn Darrow, MPH, director of
continuing medical education (CME) for Quintiles Medical Communications, has
been elected to the Board of Directors for the North American Association of
Medical Education and Communication Companies (NAAMECC). Darrow joined three
other new members for a three-year term on the board following induction
ceremonies held at the NAAMECC Annual Meeting earlier this week.
Darrow, who chairs Quintiles' CME Compliance Committee and provides
oversight and educational design guidance for client programs, brings more
than 25 years of experience in the academic medical and MECC sectors and a
history of volunteer leadership to the NAAMECC Board. Darrow was honored by
NAAMECC earlier this year with an Outstanding Service Award for her work as
Educational Program Committee chair (2003-2004) and service on the Bylaws
Committee (2001-2004). She is also active in the Alliance for CME, currently
serving on the Finance Committee.
"Carolyn's election to this board is a tremendous honor and a testament to
her leadership in the field of CME," said Tracy Ken Tsuetaki, president of
Quintiles Medical Communications. "We are extremely proud and privileged to
have Carolyn represent Quintiles in this important position."
NAAMECC, which serves as a forum for discussion and collaboration among
MECCs, as well as the academic medical community and the pharmaceutical
industry, plays a pivotal role in shaping the best practices of MECCs and
elevating their position in the CME community. Also elected to the board were
Michael Lemon, MBA; Brian P. Russell, RPh, MBA; and Lawrence Sherman.
"It is an honor to be selected by my peers to serve on the NAAMECC Board,"
said Darrow. "I look forward to building on the work of my predecessors who
have made NAAMECC a strong voice for MECCs and a true forum for collaboration
in our industry."
