Dear OHBM Member:
Why is strong leadership so important? Does it really matter if an association has strong leaders? Yes, both history and experience suggest that leadership IS very important to the success of an association. Strong leadership is essential to setting and accomplishing OHBM’s strategic goals and in anticipating future needs. The OHBM Nominating Committee will continue to work diligently to develop a slate of candidates for election on the Executive Council, but *we need your participation now in identifying leadership candidates.*
The Nominating Committee is pleased to invite current OHBM members to nominate individuals to serve on the OHBM Executive Council. Open positions include Chair-Elect, Secretary-Elect, Treasurer-Elect, Program Chair-Elect and Education Chair-Elect. The term of service begins in June 2016, and each term is for three years.
