\n

Anne Bowen Fischer, a mainstay in the UNMC chancellor\u2019s office since 2016, has been named the director of strategic relations and senior associate to the chancellor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnne is the lynchpin for many of the Office of the Chancellor\u2019s strategic activities in communities across the state, as well as our work with our advocates, and this job more accurately reflects additional roles that she has recently assumed,\u201d Interim Chancellor H. Dele Davies, MD, said. \u201cI look forward to working with her as we continue to build partnerships throughout Nebraska and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Davies noted that Fischer will serve as UNMC\u2019s point of contact for the Board of Counselors \u2013 an advisory group of community leaders from throughout Nebraska \u2013 and several other internal and external stakeholders. She will continue to serve key functions such as strategic planning, public policy engagement and special projects leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fischer has assumed additional duties, Dr. Davies said, as Chris Kratochvil, MD, vice chancellor for external relations at UNMC, continues in his role as vice president for external relations for the University of Nebraska System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis position allows Dr. Kratochvil to focus his work on strategic communication and government relations activities, and he certainly will continue to be involved with our community relations work moving forward, as well,\u201d Dr. Davies said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fischer said that she looks forward to continuing to advance UNMC\u2019s mission through collaborative engagement and strategic alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to continue to advance the institution\u2019s strategic goals by fostering strong relationships with community stakeholders, supporting long-range planning efforts and leading initiatives and special projects,\u201d Fischer said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
