ESC Elections

Executive Steering Committee Seats Up for Election

The BioMaP-Consortium is holding elections to select three new Chairs to serve three-year terms on its Executive Steering Committee (ESC). The elected Chairs will serve in the following goal-oriented roles:

Voice of Membership (Member-at-Large)
One seat open

The Voice of Membership Chair will serve as a primary liaison among BioMaP-Consortium members, the Consortium Management Firm (CMF), ATI, and U.S. Government stakeholders. This Chair will help surface member concerns, improve communication channels, gather feedback, and ensure that members’ perspectives are considered in consortium planning and activities.

 

Regulatory, Quality, and Policy
Two seats open

The Regulatory, Quality, and Policy Chairs will support the BioMaP-Consortium by identifying and communicating relevant regulatory, quality, and policy developments affecting members. They will help plan regulatory-focused content, events, newsletters, and GMM sessions and connect members with resources or subject-matter expertise to address regulatory and quality challenges.

 

Candidate Nominations

Candidates were nominated during the open nomination period, held from June 30 through July 30, 2026. Each candidate was asked to address the following:

• • How their background, training, and experience would support their ability to serve in a governance role on the Executive Steering Committee.
  • The relevant experience, expertise, and perspective they would bring to the ESC role for which they were nominated.
