Montgomery County (PA) Medical Society Welcomes New Executive Director


With the November 2007 departure of Mark Austerberry, Executive Director for the Montgomery County Medical Society for the past six (6) years, a cooperative effort began between the Montgomery County Medical Society Board of Directors and our Pennsylvania Medical Society partner to identify a replacement. Of note, Mark Austerberry remains within the family of organized medicine, accepting the position of Executive Director at nearby Philadelphia County Medical Society (PCMS). We certainly wish Mark well and look forward to working cooperatively with the PCMS in the coming years.

The Board of Directors of the Montgomery County Medical Society, and the Pennsylvania Medical Society are pleased to announce that Toyca Williams will begin as the Executive Director of the Montgomery County Medical Society, effective December 27th, 2007. A resident of nearby Eagleville, Montgomery County, Mrs. Williams brings to the medical society extensive experience and familiarity in professional society organizational directorship and management, having served in similar administartive and executive roles within the local, regional and state Bar Associations in Florida.

Students from W.H. Rhodes Elementary School in Santa Rosa County, Florida were given a tour by Toyca Williams, Public Information Coordinator with The Florida Bar Association. Williams was explaining the role of the Petitioner and Respondent during Oral Arguments.


Mrs. Williams, a Magna Cum Laude graduate from Florida A&M, majoring in Journalism, began her post-graduate career as a research reporter for the Sarasota (FL) Herald-Tribune, before her affiliation with the Florida Bar Association. Subsequently, at the Florida Bar Association she continued to research, create and write articles, both internally and for publication, on behalf of that organization. She gained extensive experience strengthening relationships between local and statewide bar associations and served as Public Information Coordinator. She was also involved in project and events management, public affairs liaison activities as well as committee and communications development. All of these organizational and developmental skills, in addition to her journalism and public information background are highly welcomed assets as she joins our Montgomery County and Pensylvania Medical Society staff.

Please join our entire MCMS Board of Directors in welcoming her to our society family. I am sure she will bring to our county society the continued staff leadership support upon which we have come to rely. She joins the Montgomery County Medical Society at a crtitically important time. She will actively participate in our organizational 5-year Strategic Planning process, which will begin during our January 8th, 2008 Board of Directors meeting.
