CFAS Special Interest Groups Executive Elections 2023

May 1, 2023 - Jun 30, 2023

Special Interest Group - Executive Nominations:

The Society is subdivided into different Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that reflect the diversity of its membership.

Each Special Interest Group is led by a Chair (and in some instances, a Co-chair) whose task it is to stimulate scientific activities and promote ongoing education and professional development in their area of expertise.

Candidates for all positions will need to demonstrate the following general attributes:

  • Commitment to the Vision, Mission and Values of CFAS
  • Collaborative leadership ability guided by a high degree of personal and professional integrity
  • Strategic thinking
  • Communication skills 
  • Willing to attend meetings, events and help plan and organize webinars, meetings, and workshops relevant to their sub-field of fertility and assisted reproduction.

Serving as a SIG Executive is an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful impact and give back to the Society that serves as your voice as a professional in the field of assisted reproductive technology. If you have the above-listed attributes and would be an asset to your Special Interest Group, apply for a position today!

Please note: If you would like to nominate someone other than yourself for a SIG Executive position, please email communications@cfas.ca with their name and contact. CFAS will then reach out to nominees.
