It is simply a matter of business. It is about including the members in developing and celebrating their future. However it is done, it is also a matter of avoiding the trap of a too narrowly-focused definition of what constitutes an exercise physiologist. ASEP is an organization of exercise physiologists, for exercise physiologists, with leadership that has the guts to make a decision. Dr. Robergs has done just that, given the information at his disposal with the right instincts to make ASEP work in the 21st century marketplace.
ASEP leadership has the courage to be competitive.
It also has the membership s trust and confidence. They understand that Dr. Robergs is working on behalf of the members and exercise physiologists worldwide. They believe that he understands the marketplace, the competition, and the importance of communication. They understand that he is intelligent, touchable, has time to listen, and is believable. The other thing he has is passion.
