Dr. Mandeep R. Mehra, Chair of the Nominating Committee and President-elect of HFSA, invites HFSA members to submit nominations to serve on the many open volunteer leadership positions. We are particularly interested in identifying aspirational leaders looking to make a difference in Heart Failure and who represent all disciplines of membership, including researchers, physicians, nurses and pharmacists. Important assets for a nominee in these positions will include collaborative spirit, strategic focus and effective execution skills.
HFSA members are encouraged to either self-nominate or nominate a colleague for committee membership to help lead HFSA activities. Committee members are elected for a two year term with eligibility for a second two year term. Please note that renewals listed below are those individuals eligible for a second two year term who, in most instances, will be reappointed by the Nominations Committee and therefore do not represent a vacant position.
