Call for Applications for 3 board Positions

Deadline: August 1, 2007

 

Are you a CDE who has served as a committee or task force member for NCBDE or another organization or has experience as a Board member of a state or national not-for-profit organization? If so, we hope that you will consider applying for a position on NCBDE’s Board of Directors (“Board”).

The Board understands that the health of an organization is determined by its leadership, and one of the benefits of being certified by a professional credentialing organization is the opportunity to actively participate in a leadership position and positively impact its strength and recognition on a national basis. Serving on a board of directors can be challenging and rewarding, but at the same time requires a personal commitment of time, skills, and resources.

Every year specific positions must be filled in order to maintain the Board's composition. In 2007, the positions to be filled for terms beginning in 2008 are:

Those who may apply in the "other" category are CDEs who are clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, optometrists, physical therapists, physician assistants, podiatrists, or who have an advanced degree in nutrition (but are not registered dietitians), social work, or exercise physiology.

To be eligible for nomination, one must be a CDE (conferred by NCBDE) and either currently employed in diabetes education, or formerly employed in diabetes education and currently employed in another diabetes-related area other than the manufacture, sale, or distribution of diabetes related products or services.

The application outlines eligibility requirements and procedures for completing the process, and the document titled "NCBDE Board of Directors Job Description" is also available. This provides an overview of responsibilities and expectations of those elected to serve on the Board. Understanding and appreciation of the responsibilities and commitments necessary to serve effectively are of critical importance before making the decision to apply.

The application and job description may be downloaded from the web site (see below) or requested by telephone at 847-228-9795, by fax at 847-228-8469, or by e-mail at info@ncbde.org. Be sure to include your name and address with any requests.

Applicants must submit a completed application, current resume or curriculum vitae, and two letters of recommendation. The postmark deadline for submitting applications is August 1, 2007.

This is a tremendous opportunity to share your knowledge and professional talents at a national level and to be involved in maintaining the high standards of credentialing in diabetes education.
