iASLC committees 

The IASLC Board of Directors has undertaken a comprehensive strategic review which included evaluation of the functions and composition of the present standing and ad hoc committees. As the organization is expanding it is increasingly difficult for board members to remain aware of the competencies of members around the globe. IASLC has invited self-nominations from members, and the initial deadline for the first round was August 31, 2011.  As part of the new IASLC Strategic Plan, several new IASLC committees are being formed and self-nominations are now being accepted.  They are: Advocates, Nurses & Allied Health Professionals, and Career Development Committee.  NOMINATE YOURSELF FOR A NEW COMMITTEE

 

If you are a member of IASLC, with interest to potentially serve in the future on a committee, please feel free to complete the attached form in order to be considered at a future date.  Nominations should state the committee preferred by the applicant, the experience and knowledge they could bring to this role and be supported by at least one other member of the IASLC, preferably the Regent for their region. If and when committee or task force positions come available, the President and board will select successful applicants to ensure appropriate geographical and specialty mix. If you, or a colleague, would like to contribute to this important work, please complete the Committee Self-Nomination Form.

 

You will need to include an IASLC Member name as a sponsor of your participation.  To view the list of IASLC Regents and to contact a Regent for sponsorship, click here. Additionally, please understand that self-nomination does not guarantee selection to a Committee.
