The Governance Committee and the NHPCO Board of Directors seek to eliminate perceptions or misunderstandings about board service that may dissuade NHPCO members from pursuing nomination. Current NHPCO board members are available to answer questions about board service. View roster of available board members.
To allay concerns about the financial burdens of board service the board and the committee wish to inform interested members that, if needed, reimbursement is available for board members’ travel expenses to NHPCO board meetings.
