For the sixth year, IDSA and HIVMA conducted a candidate selection and election process designed to ensure that the Society’s leadership represents the full diversity of our membership. Our definition of diversity is broad and includes race, ethnicity, gender identity, age, geographic location, education, type of practice setting or activity, such as clinical vs. nonclinical, and other factors that contribute to our diverse perspectives, work experiences, lifestyles and cultures.
Candidates were recruited and vetted by IDSA’s and HIVMA’s Leadership Development Committees, respectively.
During a call for applications, which ran from March 3 to March 27, IDSA and HIVMA actively solicited applicants for officer and director positions through a transparent recruitment and review process. Learn more in these biographical sketches and personal statements for IDSA and HIVMA officers and directors. Follow IDSA communications in the coming weeks for more information and profiles of the new officers.
Thank you to those who took part in the election. Your participation is an important way to influence the future direction of IDSA and HIVMA.
