ELF Committee Member Recruitment

Committee Member Recruitment

ELF is continuing to grow, learn and expand in 2009/10!  We wish to expand on the successful launch of ELF’s four pillars this past year.

Last August we welcomed three new members to the ELF Committee to lead the Speaker Series, Guided Leadership Sessions and Development Seminars.  This year we are recruiting for two positions:

1. Development Seminar Lead – Beth Dewitt has done an exceptional job this year, but will be on maternity leave next year.  We are looking for a passionate and driven ELF member to fill her shoes.
2. Think Tank Lead – Next year we are hoping to establish a Think Tank, consisting of a small group of ELF members, that will meet regularly to discuss selected topics of interest in healthcare.  The output of the Think Tank could potentially be a whitepaper suitable for publication!
