Leadership Development Committee Members Named

IDSA and HIVMA have selected members to their Leadership Development Committees. Recruitment for these committees took place in January following a successful IDSA bylaws vote that established the Leadership Development Committee to replace the Nominations Committee. Over 100 applicants enthusiastically responded to the call for volunteers, demonstrating their commitment to better incorporating principles of inclusion, diversity, access and equity to the Society’s governance.

The new Leadership Development Committees will develop and oversee the process of identifying, coaching and stewarding qualified pools of applicants to serve as volunteer leaders. It will also ensure that volunteers meet core competency skill areas and represent the diverse needs, perspectives and experiences of our membership – tapping into an expanded pool of potential leaders and volunteers with diverse expertise and backgrounds. The Society’s definition of diversity is broad and includes race/ethnicity, gender, work setting, region, member degree, professional activity, and key areas of expertise, among other factors.
