Call for nominations: Resident/Fellow representative on the CMS Board of Directors


The Colorado Medical Society seeks a resident or fellow to self-nominate to run for election to the CMS Board of Directors.

  • Term is one year, eligible for reappointment each year until completion of residency or fellowship.
  • Board meetings are held quarterly in March, June, September and December, on a Friday afternoon, 1-5 p.m. Meetings allow for virtual or in-person participation at our CMS office/Annual Meeting location or via Zoom. Review of the board packet in advance of the meeting adds one hour per meeting to the time commitment. 
  • Mileage is reimbursed for any Board member traveling more than 50 miles to the meeting, and overnight hotel cost is covered for Board members traveling more than 150 miles to the meeting or when the Board has business that spans two days.
  • Eligible candidates should be a current resident or fellow in the state of Colorado, and a CMS member in good standing. Resident/Fellow membership in CMS is free.

Self-nominate by emailing president@cms.org with a brief statement of interest including your residency program and expected date of completion. The deadline to apply is July 31, and CMS aims to install a new resident/fellow representative at the Sept. 19 Board meeting in Keystone.

If more than one candidate self-nominates, a ballot will be sent to all CMS-member residents and fellows for electronic voting. Questions? Contact kate_alfano@cms.org.
