Meet the New Executive Director!
The NDB is pleased to introduce Rebecca Schumacher as our new Executive Director! Rebecca started with the NDB in 2001 as a verifier and coder processing incoming questionnaires. She then became the project manager of our Remicade safety study. As Executive Director, Rebecca supervises NDB enrollment, the forms processing department, the management of data to prepare it for statistical analysis and directs the NDB staff. Her goals for the NDB are to continue to produce research that improves the quality of life for people who have rheumatic diseases. She also will be working on increasing enrollment in the NDB, and continuing our work on drug safety. Rebecca lives in Wichita with her husband and 3-year-old daughter. She is originally from North Dakota, and is a big fan of playing golf and going to the movies.
