The RISE Association is a network of health care professionals addressing the challenges posed by the emerging landscape of value-based care and government health care reform. The association’s mission is to provide a community for health care professionals to gather for networking, education, and collaboration as they stay ahead and advance their careers.

Nafissi is moderating a morning panel titled Self Advocacy – Becoming Your Own Champion. This panel will include discussion about personal brand, self-awareness, and developing a path to leadership and work, both in the health care field and in the community.
The summit will address challenges and take an in depth look at a wide variety of issues women in leadership face every day. Both de Lamare and Nafissi are steering committee members of the L.A. Care Women in Leadership Employee Resource Group.
