Description

 The HPCC Board of Directors is looking to fill the Public Member(s) position for its 2027 HPCC Board of Directors. 

HPCC’s public board member serves as an independent representative of the broader community and brings an external perspective to the organization’s governance and mission. Unlike board members who may be directly connected to HPCC’s programs, funding, or professional networks, the public board members are selected for their ability to reflect community interests, uphold transparency, and strengthen public trust.  Ideally, HPCC’s public member should have a track record of advocacy on behalf of the public interest and previous experience serving on the governing or advisory board of a business, religious or civic organization, or similar entity.

HPCC’s accreditation standards state that the following individuals are not eligible to serve as public members for the HPCC board: 1) Nurses or other healthcare professionals, 2) former employees of HPNA, HPNF, or HPCC, 3) Individuals who have worked closely with, supervised, or been employed by anyone involved in hospice or palliative care, 4) Individuals who have ever been employed by a testing vendor.

HPCC welcomes anyone from I.C.E. or the broader credentialing community with an interest in hospice and palliative care to Learn More about the Public Member Role.  Please visit the HPCC website to learn more about our organization and consider applying today.
