The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) announced the appointment of Tanya Tolpegin, MBA, CAE, as its new Chief Executive Officer. Tolpegin was unanimously approved by the AMIA Board of Directors. AMIA formed an Executive Search Committee in the summer of 2020 and partnered with WittKieffer to conduct a national search for the position.
“AMIA’s Executive Search Committee performed a national search and robust assessment of candidates,” said Patricia C. Dykes, PhD, RN, FAAN, FACMI, AMIA President and Board Chair, and Program Director of Research at the Brigham and Women’s Center for Patient Safety, Research, and Practice. “We have every confidence Tanya will be the effective leader AMIA needs as we embark on the initiatives and goals of our new strategic plan.”
Tolpegin comes to AMIA after serving more than five years as the Executive Director of the American Academy of Audiology (AAA) and its separate foundation where she leveraged the academy’s role in the healthcare field by increasing awareness, growing membership, developing program initiatives, and seeking opportunities for advantageous partnering with other societies and associations.
“I look forward to my role as AMIA’s next Chief Executive Officer,” said Tolpegin. “I know AMIA has a robust strategic plan inclusive of new initiatives dependent on diversified revenue streams. I am confident my background in executive leadership will advance AMIA in its mission, and will position AMIA and its members as a key component in the evolving healthcare space.”
WittKieffer’s Hillary Ross, J.D., Jeff Schroetlin and Scott Dethloff led this search.
