As Past President and Chair of Nominating Committee,  I and Beth Deal, current committee member, am reaching out to our NCHVP members to ask if you would consider serving on the Nominating Committee for 2022-23 year.  We have already completed the proposed slate of officers for the upcoming year, but we need three members to be serve on the Nominating Committee for 2022-23.

This is a great way to learn more about our wonderful organization and to build new or strengthen your networking among our members.  It doesn't take a lot of time, and I hope that you will consider.  I have copied from the by-laws and policies/procedures manual the below information regarding this important committee and request that you review and let me know if you are able and willing to be placed on the upcoming ballot for nominating committee.  Your response either way is needed by no later than Thursday, April 7 via email reply to me at alice.whisnant@unchealth.unc.edu or to this forum.  Thank you!  Alice
