Desired attributes include a record of distinguished service and the potential for further contributions; demonstrated performance at the highest level in scientific, industrial, public sector, and/or educational communities; a commitment to devote the time necessary to perform Board duties effectively; and demonstrated expertise in Total Worker Health.
