Description:

Guide the Future of Oncology Nursing: Submit Your Notification of Intent to Apply for the 2027-2030 ONS Board of Directors

The ONS Board of Directors is a diverse group of oncology nurse professionals who serve a three-year term and meet monthly to guide the Society’s strategic direction so that ONS can best influence oncology nursing and the care of patients with cancer. Together, they represent decades of experience in oncology nursing clinical care, education, research, and leadership.   

 

The Leadership Succession Committee (LSC)identifies, vets, and selects individuals with the breadth and depth of ONS organizational knowledge and governance experience necessary to serve on the Board. Each year, in addition to the foundational set of qualities and skills, the LSC identifies and seeks specific needs in interested applicants to ensure a well-rounded Board of Directors for the upcoming term.   

 

All applicants are considered based on their skills, qualities, and experiences and must be an active ONS member for at least the past five years. ​​ 

 

Some of the needs identified for the Board’s 2027-2030 term are:  

  • Firsthand knowledge of current clinical oncology care issues, experience influencing nursing practice​ at the local or national level​, and demonstration of ​executive ​leadership​     ​ 
  • Has ​​foresight​​ in understanding ​​current and potential impact​s​ on the ​cancer care ​landscape 
  • Brings expertise in contract negotiation, business development, and strategic partnership​     ​
  • E​xperience​ as a fiduciary​ at a strategic, executive level 
  • Strong understanding of the technologic landscape and its intersection with nursing (e.g., knowledge of artificial intelligence (AI) and its relationship to nursing practice, education, etc.) 
  • Brings an international perspective and understanding of global oncology trends, challenges, and best practices 

 

Do your skills and experience align with some of these needs? Does your experience in oncology nursing support ONS’s mission and values? If so, consider applying to serve as an ONS director-at-large. Complete the notification of intent (NOI) preapplication online by October 28, 2026.
