The NIH day care oversight board is seeking volunteers to serve as members for a 3-year term. The board currently meets bimonthly for 2 hours. Attendance at these meetings is critical. Membership requires participation on either standing subcommittees or ad-hoc subcommittees formed to meet specific purposes. Subcommittee participation requires time commitments beyond bimonthly meetings.
Membership provides an opportunity to serve fellow employees and their families.
Membership is an official duty and may be included as a noncritical element on an employee's performance plan. Members are selected to be representative of the diverse NIH population. Voting members may not have a financial interest in NIH-sponsored day care, except that they may have a dependent enrolled in NIH day care programs. Needed are individuals with professional or academic expertise in early childhood education, human development, developmental psychology or neurology, expertise in the evaluation or auditing of programs, or a strong interest in the provision and quality of NIH day care. Also sought are experts in financial business management, fundraising and health and safety.
