Just in time! Section leader nominations are open through April 8, and this program will demystify this service role and show you why you should submit your nomination. The webinar will outline the responsibilities of Health Sciences Section Officer positions and review eligibility and the nomination process. Each HS Officer will then talk more in-depth about their responsibilities and time commitments, as well as why they submitted their nomination, how their leadership involvement has advanced their careers, and what their initial hesitations were about submitting their nomination and how they overcame them.
