Meet the NCMSA Leadership Team 

Meeti Nigam, President

I am honored to serve you as the president of NCMS Alliance for the year 2022-2023. I have been a board member of the NCMS Alliance for the last three years since we moved to Charlotte from Virginia. I was active in various positions for many years with the Medical Society of Virginia Alliance. My interest and involvement in community events, public health, and Alliance advocacy helped me grow as an Alliance leader. I have helped organize events for the Alliance and community, including health fairs for the public and charity events for a shelter for victims of domestic abuse. 

I was born in India and completed my Bachelors in Science and Masters in Sociology.  My husband is a practicing anesthesiologist with Atrium Health. We were married while he was working in Caen, France. We lived there for six years and then moved to the United States in 1994.  My husband’s medical career moved us to Augusta, GA; Boston, MA; Danville, VA; and now Charlotte. 

We have three sons - a plastic surgeon, a general surgeon, and an undergraduate at University of Virginia; two wonderful daughters-in-law - a lawyer and a physician assistant; and a beautiful 4-year-old rambunctious granddaughter.

 I look forward to a successful and meaningful NCMS Alliance year as we continue along the path to foster stronger bonds between our community, its physicians, and their families.
