Call for Nominations - AMIA Working Groups | AMIA - American Medical Informatics Association

The nomination process is now closed. The 2023 slate will be announced in August.

Working groups offer excellent opportunities for young informatics professionals to gain early career leadership experience and for longer-term AMIA members to share valuable knowledge and perspective as leaders.

Nominations for Working Group leaders are managed within each working group. The Nominating Committee will present the final slate to the AMIA Board in the fall.  After the slate of nominees is announced, instructions on voting will be posted on the AMIA Web site.

The nomination criteria for a Working Group leader balances a mix of experience, age, gender, race, ethnicity, identity, orientation, geography, and institution. Candidate information assists AMIA in reflecting the diversity of AMIA membership, the health and healthcare profession, and the broader population.
