Recruitment Form for New Committee Members - North American Vascular Biology Organization

Recruitment Form for New Committee Members

NAVBO is currently recruiting new members for several committees. Committee involvement offers the opportunity to engage with fellow NAVBO members. Committee terms are three years.

Please complete this form by December 12, 2025. Feel free to apply to more than one committee.

COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE -- focuses on the ways in which we communicate to our members: newsletters, Vascular Biology Publications Alert, our web site, and through social media. Social media has become its primary focus - helping to promote membership, meetings, and some of our online events. If you are a postdoc or graduate student, you must also upload a letter from your supervisor confirming your availability to serve on a committee.

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE -- responsible for retention of members, establishing and maintaining certain member benefits, and reaching out to potential members with our Trial Membership Program. This committee recently launched, Vascular Connections - NAVBO's mentoring program. Helping to retain members often means engaging with new members to establish their relationship with the society. This committee is seeking NAVBO members in any stage of their career who are interested in building relationships and community with new members.

COMMUNITIES COMMITTEE -- responsible for triggering and maintaining engagement on the NAVBO Vascular Network, our online community. Currently this committee is spurring new conversations within the NAVBO community. Our goal is to engage members and grow participation within the community and make the NAVBO members aware of this important tool, which provides the opportunity to tap into NAVBO's greatest resource, its members. This committee is seeking NAVBO members at any stage who are interested in engaging with the society and their fellow members.

ONLINE PROGRAMMING COMMITTEE -- responsible for organizing and presenting InFocus Sessions and Symposia. The committee is comprised of three teams (two for InFocus Sessions and one for the symposia). Team members take turns being the lead organizer on a project with assistance from their team's other members. Those organizing the sessions can expect to spend an average of 7 hours in a month; members assisting the organizer, about 3 hours.

The Online Program Committee is seeking postdocs and graduate students in at least their third year. Please upload a letter from your supervisor confirming your availability to serve on this committee.

Please note - Membership in a committee is limited to active NAVBO members.
