Serving on a MyNHPCO Community Steering Committee provides an unprecedented national leadership opportunity for hospice and palliative care professionals. If you want to participate in your discipline’s professional development; contribute to the advancement of hospice and palliative care; meet, network and learn from leaders in the field, Steering Committee involvement is for you!

The Nominating Committee will review all applications, then recommend new Steering Committee members for each Community. This process takes several weeks and you can expect to hear from NHPCO when it is completed.

The term of service for a Steering Committee member is three years. If you are selected to serve on your Community Steering Committee, your term will begin when you are appointed. An individual who meets all requirements and responsibilities is eligible to serve two terms.

To apply, please visit the Professional Community of your choice in MyNHPCO to begin the application to its Steering Committee.
