We are pleased to welcome two more community leaders as new members of LPL’s External Advisory Board: Dr. Norman Komar and Dr. Xenia King.

Dr. Komar is a retired neuroradiologist who spent the bulk of his career practicing medicine in Tucson. He received his B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Michigan, and his M.D. from Wayne State University. He has been a member of the UA College of Science’s Galileo Circle for several years.

Dr. King has a B.A. in Economics and a Ph.D. in Psychology from Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. She is currently a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Arizona, but her career has included everything from being a biostatistician for NASA to being the Head of New Business Development for the New York office of the RAND Corporation.

The External Advisory Board is designed to give advice on LPL’s interactions with the broader community on all sorts of issues, ranging from branding to development, and has been particularly active in assisting with outreach and with industry relations.
