Steven William, M.D., a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, was named president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Williams is the founder of Tri Valley Plastic Surgery in Dublin, CA, and is the first African American president of ASPS. Williams was previously the vice president of membership in ASPS. His presidency will begin in 2023 and Williams aims to broaden the reach of ASPS along with focusing on diversity and inclusion in the organization. "Presidency of ASPS is a pinnacle career achievement," says Williams. "When you look at who has occupied that role you see the legends of plastic surgery, the people who have brought the biggest innovation, the biggest change, the biggest growth, the people that are most passionate about plastic surgery. For me personally, it's an achievement to be the first African American person to be president at ASPS. It's an incredible sense of honor, duty and pride. I'm really standing on the shoulders of people who came before me."
