Attend the first meeting of the Cost Board’s Nomination Committee

As part of 2024 legislation, the Health Care Cost Transparency Board created the Nomination Committee to recruit and select members for the board’s three advisory committees. It's comprised of at least three board members.

The Nomination Committee's job is to ensure an effective and appropriate mix of representation and diversity (including gender, geography, expertise, background, and qualifications) when selecting advisory committee members. Nomination Committee members support the strategic vision of the board.
