2007 Call For Board Nominees Exceeds Prior Elections
I wish to express my appreciation to Healthcare SIG members who expressed a desire to help lead and make a difference in the lives of the membership. I received many inquiries from members regarding the available board positions and we had an increase in submissions over previous years for the available offices. In November, we will officially announce the appointments of the directorships.
If you wish to help the SIG grow and provide value to its members, please consider joining a committee or filling a vacancy. Starting at the committee-level is a great way to learn about the organization and prepare you for a leadership opportunity. Even if you don't see a position announced, if you have an interest, contact any director and we will see about finding you a home.
Thank you.
