ISPOR Vision Statement by Zeba M. Khan, PhD
I have been an active member of ISPOR since its beginnings and have contributed to the great progress that the organization has made both scientifically and financially. As Treasurer, my goal is to continue this tradition of growth through financially sound decisions and create a solid organizational infrastructure for its future. ISPOR has realized strong financial performance in every year since its inception and I would like to ensure that continued strong performance as its Treasurer.
ISPOR has rapidly progressed from essentially a small business to a professional association. ISPOR is expanding and reaching multiple stakeholders globally and with those come increased financial responsibility. With proper financial stability, growth, and investment, ISPOR will continue to grow as an association. We are just now beginning to put sound financial investment strategies and infrastructure in place and, at this phase of development, continuity is crucial; I will provide that continuity and ensure we succeed with these strategies to advance ISPOR. We should strive to increase and diversify investments to continue our revenue growth. We should also strategically invest to meet the needs of the organization and to ensure its financial integrity and sustainability. It is an honor to serve as ISPOR Treasurer for another term and ensure that sound financial strategies are applied to secure the future of ISPOR.
