COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE -- focuses on the ways in which we communicate to our members: newsletters, Vascular Biology Publications Alert, our web site, and through social media. Social media has become its primary focus - helping to promote membership, meetings, and some of our online events. If you are a postdoc or graduate student, you must also upload a letter from your supervisor confirming your availability to serve on a committee.

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE -- responsible for retention of members, establishing and maintaining certain member benefits, and reaching out to potential members with our Trial Membership Program. Helping to retain members often means engaging with new members to establish their relationship with the society. This committee is seeking NAVBO members in any stage of their career who are interested in building relationships and community with new members.

COMMUNITIES COMMITTEE -- responsible for triggering and maintaining engagement on the NAVBO Vascular Network Forum, our online community. Currently this committee is spurring new conversations within the NAVBO community. Our goal is to engage members and grow participation within the community and make the NAVBO members aware of this important tool, which provides the opportunity to tap into NAVBO's greatest resource, its members. This committee is seeking NAVBO members at any stage who is interested in engaging with the society and their fellow members.

GROWTH AND ENRICHMENT COMMITTEE (GEC)- - Members of this committee participate in the organization of bimonthly online Round Tables, interactive panels, and Seminars on topical issues from securing funding to mentoring teams and balancing scientific ambition with personal growth.
