CSE Inaugural President's Message

2024 Reflections and Aspirations for the Year Ahead

Dear colleagues,

Reflecting on the dawn of 2025, as the new President of the vibrant Canadian Society of Echocardiography, affiliate of the esteemed Canadian Cardiovascular Society, I feel that together with your involvement in our events, we have achieved significant milestones that inspire us as we chart our course for the future. I am honored to lead us into this promising year, where we will continue to build upon our legacy while embracing the opportunities that lie ahead.
In a world that is ever-evolving, we face numerous challenges—be it the impacts of climate change or shifts in governance. Yet, we stand firm, anchored by our enduring values and the lessons gleaned from our shared experiences. It is with humility and ambition that I look ahead, determined to harness these insights as we strive to enhance our impact on cardiovascular health across Canada.
I feel incredibly blessed to inherit a society that has grown tremendously under the leadership of our past presidents and all those involved. I am also looking forward to working closely with my vice president, Amer Johri, as we continue to advance our goals. I want to thank Sharon Mulvagh, our president from 2022 to 2024. Her contributions have enriched our society in immeasurable ways, and her vision has set a strong foundation for our future endeavors.
Together, we’re building a community rooted in learning, collaboration, and excellence in our field. By doing so, we’re making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. I’m eager to see what we can accomplish together in the years ahead!
See you in May in Toronto!
