Dear Member, As we look to the future, ISPOR remains committed to advancing our mission and vision, seeking to reimagine the role of health economics and outcomes research (HEOR) and the Society with its Strategic Plan 2030. To accelerate this momentum, we continually seek strategic visionaries to join the ISPOR’s Board of Directors, as well as serving in other leadership positions. The ISPOR Nominations Committee is pleased to announce the call for nominations for President-Elect, Treasurer 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. This year ISPOR will implement new procedures for Board selection. ISPOR’s Board of Directors recently approved a new process for Board nominations and elections. Beginning in 2026, the Society will update its approach for selecting Board members and move to a non-contested elections process. The Nominations Committee will put forth a slate of candidates, one for each open Director position. The Board will choose the President-elect and Treasurer based on recommendations from the Nominations Committee.

To qualify for consideration as President-Elect candidates must possess requirement specified above for Director positions and previous recent Board service or significant ISPOR leadership experience (chairing a Task Force, Consortia, or Council) within the last 7 years. Candidates must be current ISPOR members. To qualify for consideration as Treasurer, candidates must possess requirements specified above for Director positions, have serviced in an ISPOR leadership role, preferably with previous ISPOR Board and/or Finance Committee service.
