Call for nominations of new board organizations

People that Deliver (PtD) prides itself on having a diverse board not only in terms of organizational characteristics, but also in geographical representation, language, and health program focus. PtD's board is comprised of supply chain leaders from seven key constituencies:

  1. Governments or other representatives of low and middle-income countries
  2. Donor governments/agencies and foundations
  3. Multilateral organizations, including regional organizations
  4. Non-governmental and technical organizations
  5. Academic/research/training institutions
  6. Professional associations
  7. Private sector organizations

PtD is looking for strategic supply chain thought leaders who have the skills and experience to make a meaningful contribution to PtD during a time of change and sustainable growth. Together, we want to continue to build on the excellent foundations and developments made since our establishment in 2011.
