Member-at-Large
Blake Denley, MD
Ochsner Health
New Orleans, Louisiana
My life mantra is to desperately love like I myself wish to be desperately loved, which I think is best accomplished through service.
Though love may not be the first motivating factor you think of when considering candidates for a position such as Member-at-large, it really is the essence of all that I do. Having love and genuine care for others as my principal driving factor has given me an inclusive, progressive-thinking mindset, and I am motivated to always push for innovation and betterment within the organizations I work with.
The fluidity of the Member-at-large position matches my personality well, and I would love addressing a wide variety of issues as they arise throughout the year. I would also want to serve as a direct voice to the Board for EMRA members, ensuring appropriate representation. Though most of my leadership experiences have been at the state and local levels, I would love the chance to serve on the national level, and I would greatly appreciate your vote.
Fun Facts: I am a 7-time Jump Rope World Champion, I was a Ralphie Handler at the University of Colorado, and I have a Golden Retriever named Aspen.
