The Committee is seeking nominees to run for election to four key leadership roles on the NAACCR Board of Directors, with terms beginning June 2025, as well as candidates for the 2025-2026 Nominating Committee. The NAACCR membership will cast ballots for the following positions:
- Treasurer (two-year term)
- Three Representatives-at-Large (two-year terms)
- Three Nominating Committee members (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 work-groups. 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 upcoming 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 October 28, 2024, using the Nomination Form found on the NAACCR public website. The deadline for receipt of nomination is 5:00 PM ET Friday, December 13, 2024.
