The NAACCR Nominating Committee is kicking off the annual process of encouraging dedicated individuals to serve the NAACCR community.

The Committee is seeking nominees to run for election to four key leadership roles on the NAACCR Board of Directors that open in 2024 or on the 2024-2025 Nominating Committee. The NAACCR members will be electing the following positions:

President-Elect. This is a one-year term with a four-year commitment.
Three Representative-At-Large positions. These are two-year terms.
Three Nominating Committee members. These are one-year terms.

For decades, NAACCR has been a unique and innovative partner in the ever-changing cancer surveillance world, and a strong and diverse leadership is essential. NAACCR recognizes that it is fortunate to have knowledgeable and devoted members who volunteer in various capacities, including committees and workgroups. One of the many important ways that volunteers contribute to NAACCR is by serving on the Board of Directors. Through guiding existing programs and identifying future opportunities, Board members play a pivotal role in governing NAACCR affairs and moving the organization forward.

Please consider recommending a qualified colleague for one of the four 2024 vacancies on the Board. Or nominate yourself! If you would like to get more involved but have limited time, serving on the Nominating Committee may be a perfect way for you to contribute.

Nominations will be accepted beginning November 10, 2023, using the Nomination Form found on the NAACCR public website. The deadline for receipt of nomination is 5:00 PM ET Friday, December 15, 2023.
