Nominations to the AFHTO Board of Directors are open until July 29, 2022

Dear AFHTO members:
 
Are you interested in serving on the AFHTO board of directors? The Governance Committee of AFHTO’s board invites anyone who works within an AFHTO member organization to apply. Please share this call for nominations with all who work in your team and with members on your Board.

Four (4) positions are to be elected for a 3-year term on the 14-member AFHTO board. The AFHTO by-law calls for balanced representation on the board to include the various forms of governance, the regions of the province, and the mix of the professions/individuals working within FHTs, NPLCs and other interprofessional models of primary care.

Given the composition of the continuing board members, priority for the directors to be elected will be given to candidates who are:

• Family Physicians and Nurse Practitioners, especially individuals actively involved in OHT development and understanding of the broader health care system;  
• Board members, especially community members in the position of Chair of the Board;
• Interprofessional Health Care Providers, especially those actively involved in OHT development; or
• Experienced in finance, including accreditation as a financial professional (e.g., CA, CPA, CMA).

To apply:
