Call for Board Nominations!

It is that time of year when our WVHIMSS Board transition gets underway, and that means that some of our Board positions will be vacated. As WVHIMSS members, stepping up to fill a position on the Board guarantees our continued growth and sustainability as a Chapter. Having new Board members energizes the Board and brings with it new ideas to challenge us to continue to grow and be a benefit to our members and to our state!

The following Board positions will be open as of July 1, 2012 and we are looking for nominations for candidates to fill these positions: VP (President-Elect), Secretary / Treasurer, and two (2) Member-at-Large.

May 17 - May 29 - Nominations

  • Email David Rapp (drapp@wheelinghospital.org) and cc: Kim Clarke (clarkek@wvuhealthcare.com) , your nomination(s) for any of the positions noted above. Please put "WVHIMSS Nominations" in the subject line.
  • Please do not be shy about nominating yourself. That is usually the most effective way for us to receive nominations and for you to know that you will be part of the election process. If you feel awkward about nominating yourself, ask a friend to nominate you.
  • If we receive nominations from one individual for another individual, we will contact the nominee to confirm that they accept the nomination for the position.

May 30 – June 12 - Elections

  • Online balloting will be open for election of the President-Elect, Secretary/Treasurer, and the 2 Member-at-Large positions.
