2013 Academy Board of Trustees Nominations
2013 Board Nominations Will Open in May 2012
The updated candidate handbook and nomination form will be coming in April.
Each year, the Academy of Clinical Research Professionals (the Academy) seeks proven leaders to serve on its Board of Trustees. This is a great opportunity to serve your certification program and make a difference within Academy certification. The 2012 Board Election is open now through December 16, 2011. If you did not receive an email or letter in the mail with a link to the ballot and your unique Election Number and Election Passcode, please contact ACRP Governance Manager, Megan Balkovic, at mbalkovic@acrpnet.org.
The Nominating Committee reviewed all the application forms individually and as a Committee, came up with a slate of candidates to present to the Academy Board of Trustees. The selected slate was based on the following factors: (1) the number of open board seats at the time, (2) the competencies needed to ensure the Board of Trustees is representative of the certificants and (3) the skills necessary for the Board to make the best decisions possible on behalf of certificants. The membership is then asked to vote on the slate of candidates rather than voting for or against each individual candidate. Please be assured that the slate of Trustee candidates put forth by the Nominating Committee to the Board is the result of the committees’ careful and diligent consideration of each application that it receives. Candidates will be notified of the results of the election prior to December 31, 2011.
Every year, the Academy seeks members to apply for a seat on its Board, from both within and outside the United States, who can think globally and directly contribute to the strategic, sustainable growth of the Academy’s Certification Program. Candidates must possess clinical research knowledge, leadership, business, and/or finance skills to complement the current Board of Trustees in fulfilling and advancing the Academy’s mission. Trustees serve one two-year term, and can be re-elected for one additional two-year term. As a Trustee, you must be able to commit time and expertise to Board service. Travel is required each year to locations in the United States. Updated information on candidate criteria for 2013, established by the Nominating Committee, will be provided in April.
In addition, an updated Handbook for Board of Trustees Candidates to learn more about the roles, responsibilities, and time commitment required to serve on the Board will also be provided. Thank you for your interest and please remember to vote in 2012 Board election.
