IHE Canada Liaison Election 2020

Just a gentle reminder that nomination period for the IHE Canada Liaison position closes on Friday May 15, 2020.

Hi all -- I've shared my filled-in nomination form, here .
Warmest regards,
Derek

Dan -- thank you, that's very kind! I will accept your nomination, fill in the form, and post it to the forum. It would be an honour to be afforded the chance to continue acting as the IHE Canada Liaison.

When I ran for this post two years ago I proposed a platform of change. I hope that some of the changes proposed, then, are already becoming evident to our community members. I also hope that there is consensus within the IHE Canada community that the direction we are moving is helpful and will be more and more impactful as we continue to make progress.

At this point -- as an incumbent -- I am running on my record. I admit, with an accompanying apology, that my conduct and leadership over the last two years has demonstrated both my strengths and my shortcomings. I can promise, if I am lucky enough to get a chance to continue serving, that I'll do my best to keep learning, and improving, and "growing into the role".

These difficult times are teaching us all lessons about resilience; and patience; and collaboration; and equity; and the ways that adversity is the mother of invention. I believe that all of us who work in digital health will be afforded opportunities to help take the best of these lessons learned and weave them permanently into the fabric of Canada's healthcare system. That "legacy-making" feels important, to me, and I look forward to being part of it.

Warmest regards, and stay well,
Derek

I would like to nominate Derek Ritz , his contributions to the IHE international community are of great value and I would love it if he would accept to continue representing our Canadien interests on the IHE board.

Dan

Dan, thanks for the question and for your interest and support of IHE.

In the past, most folks have been self-nominated, so I would suggest that with this in mind, we structured the form that way. We have a requirement for folks to have acknowledged as part of the nomination form that they have read and accepted the role description as there are some definite requirements and time commitments.

I am thinking that you could certainly nominate that person here as a forum posting and that when they accept your nomination that they should fill in the form and post it.

I hope that this answers your question.

Thank you.

Regards,

Andrea

Hi,

I wanted to nominate someone, but it seems to me that the form infocentral.infoway-inforoute.ca/en/resources/docs/3297-2020-ihe-canada-liaison-nomination-form/view-document is really intended for self-nomination only.
Is there an other form to complete when we want to nominate someone else ?

Cheers,
Dan
