Membership And Nominating Committee
Chair: Linda Truong
The Membership and Nominating Committee is responsible for encouraging all neonatologists that actively practice in California to become members of CAN. The committee also encourages associate membership for fellows and neonatal nurse practitioners/ neonatal physician assistants. In addition, the Membership and Nominating Committee is responsible for nominating members to the CAN Board each year. As part of this responsibility, the committee ensures that board members are representative of the range of neonatal practice types (academic, private, metropolitan, rural, etc.) that exist across the state.
