The ISPOR Nominations Committee is pleased to announce the Call for Nominations for President-Elect and three open Director positions on the 2026-2027 Board of Directors.
ISPOR is a member-driven organization that relies on the participation of its members to fulfill the organization’s mission. By participating on the ISPOR Board, you lend your leadership, expertise, and vision to the discipline of health economics and outcomes research.
Last year, the ISPOR Board of Directors approved a new Board selection process. Beginning in 2026, ISPOR transitioned to a non-contested election model for Board member selection. Under this approach, the Nominations Committee presents a slate of candidates, with one candidate nominated for each open Director position. The President-elect is selected by the Board of Directors from candidates recommended by the Nominations Committee. You can read more about the new process here.
