What is the time commitment for this role?
The NANNP Call for Nominations generally opens around mid-March and closes mid-April. During this time we ask the committee to support the call by spreading the word. The primary bulk of the work for the committee takes place mid-April to mid-June and is dedicated to the review of applications, interviewing selected candidates, and finalizing the slate for membership vote. We estimate anywhere from 10 – 20 hours of work total.
