Shelly B. Rodrigues, CAE, MS, FACEHP, FAAMSE

I recently retired after spending 38 years’ in medical society management; 28 years with the California Academy of Family Physicians.  I’m pleased to be a principal in a new consulting partnership, Mosaica Solutions, LLC, focusing on efforts to bring people, ideas and resources together to create innovative solutions.

I’m a graduate (BS-Education and MS-Journalism) of the University of Kansas, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Breakthrough College on Collaboratives, Virtual Collaboratives, and Innovation College, and am a Certified Association Executive.  I was thrilled to be made an Alliance Fellow in 2012 and American Association of Medical Society Executives (AAMSE) Fellow in 2019.

My medical association roles have included oversight for residency and continuing education, communications, membership, grand and program development, public health and technology. 

I’m proud my work in leadership development. With Ken Slaw, PhD (Society of Vascular Surgeons), I co-founded AAMSE’s Leadership Academy.  I served as master faculty and have worked on leadership development projects with the Alliance for CEhp, AAFP and others.  I led CAFP’s Ready to Lead program, with two cohorts of new young physicians joining the ranks of family medicine leadership and helped develop the CAFP Foundations’ FM Chief Residents Workshop.  Strategic planning and roundtable facilitation are also part and parcel of my work as well, with multiple planning sessions for CAFP, AFP state chapters and other organizations. 

My other love is educational design and faculty development and I’m proud to have worked with several experts in the field, including Carol Havens, MD, to design seminars and workshops to improve and enhance the CME/CPD activities we provide and to increase CME provider capacity to meet health care professionals’ practice needs.  I have presented faculty and educational development workshops for the ACEhp, Kaiser Permanente, AAMSE, the AAFP and others.

I was AAMSE’s 2000-01 President, served as the 2013 Chair of the ACEhp’s Annual Conference Committee and continue to volunteer as faculty for ACEhp leadership sessions.

I have been married for 38 years to a fellow I met in second grade – he’s the calm to my fast pace, loves my KU Jayhawks, and agrees with me that a spare $5,000 should always be spent on travel rather than on home improvements.  When not working, I love reading, especially in a beach chair at our home in Akumal Mexico, hiking, knitting, traveling, cooking and just hanging with friends.
