Student Representative to be Selected for SVU Board of Directors

The SVU Board of Directors is pleased to announce the creation of a Student Representative position on the Board, effective June 1, 2005. This is a great opportunity for a Student Member of SVU to learn about the inner workings of the SVU, and in return contribute his/her input and perspective to the SVU Board as someone who is new to the field of vascular ultrasound.

The appointed Student Board Representative will serve a one-year, unpaid, non-voting term on the SVU Board of Directors, and will attend the 2005 SVU Annual Conference, including the SVU Board of Directors meeting, at the Vascular Annual Meeting 2005 in Chicago, June 16-18, at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. The selected Student Representative’s travel, hotel expenses and AC registration will be covered by SVU.

The Student Board Representative also will serve on either the SVU Chapters Committee or Membership Committee at his/her choosing. Once selected, SVU will profile the new Student Board Representative in a future issue of e-Spectrum. At the conclusion of the student’s year-long appointment to the SVU Board of Directors, he/she will be expected to write an article for e-Spectrum describing his/her experiences with SVU Board and committee service.

The only requirements for a student to apply to SVU for this unique opportunity are: (1) current enrollment in an accredited ultrasound program, and (2) student membership in SVU, which is a great value at only $25/year. To apply, download the Student Board Representative Application. SVU student members are urged to submit by April 1, 2005 a completed application to SVU by e-mail at studentapplication@svunet.org or by fax at 301-459-5651.
