Join us for our annual Summit at Camp Kanuga in
Hendersonville, North Carolina!
This year's theme is Courage, Connection, and Change
Dr. Kemia M. Sarraf | Founder of Lodestar Consulting
Dr. Kemia Sarraf (“Dr. K” ) completed her Medical Degree and Master of Public Health at the University of Utah School of Medicine, and her residency in Internal Medicine at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Washington University School of Medicine. The arc of her more than two decade career has included patient care, public health programming and development, nonprofit leadership, multiple board positions in both the public and private sector, DEI and trauma-mitigation work in medical education, and private business ownership.
Dr. K's deep and expansive background in public health, trauma, and a trauma-informed approach to professional coaching led her to develop a unique paradigm honed for professionals working in environments of chronic toxic stress.
Dr. K founded Lodestar in 2016, responding to a growing need for trauma-mitigation subspecialty coaching methods for physician colleagues who were reporting alarmingly high levels of severe burnout, vicarious trauma, and moral injury. She serves as adjunct faculty at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in the office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion.

ETDA Summit Guest Attendance Expectations
SUMMIT GUEST PROCESS & REGISTRATION:
Summits are ETDA’s primary experience that bring in new member companies. As such, the Board requests that member companies think first and foremost about inviting guests who meet the criteria for membership and who are interested in having their organization become a member.
- Members who invite guests must show the Fit Assessment and the DeEP Document to their prospective guest so they are familiar with ETDA’s mindset and what membership fit looks like. This makes the process of becoming a member after the Summit much easier and clearer. Summit Committee members are responsible for ensuring that the sponsoring member individual has had a conversation about the Fit Assessment with any prospective Summit guests. (Both documents are available on the ETDA website).
- Guests pay an additional fee to attend the Summit. If a sponsoring member’s guest is a fit for joining, the sponsoring member is the first point of encouragement for the guest to become a member. If the guest initiates the membership process within 30 days of the Summit, then $200 of their summit fee is applied toward their company’s membership fee.
-
If a member individual wants to invite a guest who isn’t a candidate for membership, our ETDA Community asks that you consider thoroughly:
- Do they engage in work that is similar to ETDA members?
- Are they a consultant or coach who can contribute to our/their personal and professional growth during the Summit?
- Will they engage in business owner-level dialogue?
- Guests may only attend once as a Summit guest.
