Trustee Nominations
Intealth invites nominations to fill up to four trustee positions on its Board and seeks highly motivated individuals who are committed to advancing its missions. Candidates should demonstrate a capacity for organizational decision making through leadership and/or prior board experience, and a dedication to the highest professional and personal ethics. All trustees are volunteers who initially serve a four-year term with potential re-election to one additional four-year term. Through their service, trustees have a global impact by shaping the future strategy and direction of Intealth and global health professions education.
Intealth is committed to a diverse Board that reflects the many constituencies it serves, including but not limited to diversity in gender, race, ethnicity, age, and professional background. Intealth is particularly interested in recruiting individuals who can serve as public members. Individuals can self-nominate or be nominated by a third party, as described below.

Resident Trustee Nominations
Intealth is currently accepting self-nominations for two resident trustees to serve on its Board.
