Bio
Deb Chromik Rose
Christine's genius a one-of-a-kind force generator. Her intellectual and emotional intelligence are multiplied exponentially by her pragmatic, operational, can-do/will-do, street smarts. This combination of talents allows Christine to generate and operationalize completely new constructs as easily as she can take existing work and reconfigure the elements to create a powerful actionable plan forward. I know few people who can rival Christine's ability to break down complex challenges, sort through what matters, and come out with a plan that can engage countless others in taking action in service of an inspired and meaningful mission. My speed dial button to her wisdom is well worn.

Christine's contributions to our field and to the effectiveness of the eHealth Initiative are pervasive. Christine brings a breadth of knowledge, and an excellent grasp of policy and practicality to her role. I remain impressed with her ability to build coalitions and to develop solutions in a a transparent and meaningful manner. I expect to see Christine's influence continue to grow over time - we all will benefit from her continued efforts.
