Hello, Friends of Kennedy Krieger,
I hope you are having a safe and enjoyable summer.
It’s a new fiscal year at Kennedy Krieger Institute. New plans are taking shape, fresh cohorts of enthusiastic leaders-in-training are starting fellowships, and our schools and early childhood centers are preparing for the upcoming school year. Summer is also when we welcome new board members, elect a new slate of officers and honor those whose terms have concluded.
We are grateful to each of you.” – Dr. Bradley L. Schlaggar
Dr. Nancy S. Grasmick has been Kennedy Krieger Institute’s board chair for the last six years, and her impact has been immense. Her strong leadership has helped us craft a robust strategic plan that will serve us for many years to come. She recently completed her term in office, but has agreed to stay on in an advisory capacity. Please join me in expressing heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to her for all she has done for Kennedy Krieger.
We are fortunate to welcome Ron Peterson as our new board chair. His decades of experience as a senior executive at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and his years of commitment to Kennedy Krieger make him the perfect leader to help guide our next chapter.
We are grateful to each of you, too. Your support for our mission is crucial to making the stories you’ll read in this magazine happen!
With gratitude,
Bradley L. Schlaggar, MD, PhD
President and Chief Executive Officer
The Zanvyl Krieger Faculty Endowed Chair
