SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Nominations are being sought for individuals
who have expertise and qualifications necessary to contribute to the
accomplishments of the committee's objectives. Nominees will be
selected based on expertise in the fields of breast health, breast
cancer, disease prevention and risk reduction, survivorship (including
metastatic breast cancer), hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC),
or in related disciplines with a specific focus on young women. Persons
with personal experience with early onset breast cancer are also
eligible to apply. This includes but may not be limited to breast
cancer survivors <45 years of age and caregivers of said persons.
Federal employees will not be considered for membership. Members may be
invited to serve up to four-year terms. Selection of members is based
on candidates' qualifications to contribute to the accomplishment of
ACBCYW objectives (<a href="http://www.cdc.gov/maso/facm/facmacbcyw.html">http://www.cdc.gov/maso/facm/facmacbcyw.html</a>).
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services policy stipulates
that committee membership be balanced in terms of points of view
represented, and the committee's function. Appointments shall be made
without discrimination on the basis of age, race, ethnicity, gender,
sexual orientation, gender identity, HIV status, disability, and
cultural, religious, or socioeconomic status. Nominees must be U.S.
citizens and cannot be full-time employees of the U.S. Government.
Current participation on federal workgroups or prior experience serving
on a federal advisory committee does not disqualify a candidate;
however, HHS policy is to avoid excessive individual service on
advisory committees and multiple committee memberships. Committee
members are Special Government Employees, requiring the filing of
financial disclosure reports at the beginning and annually during their
terms. CDC reviews potential candidates for ACBCYW membership each year
and provides a slate of nominees for consideration to the Secretary of
HHS for final selection. HHS notifies selected candidates of their
appointment near the start of the term in November 2024, or as soon as
the HHS selection process is completed. Note that the need for
different expertise varies from year to year and a candidate who is not
selected in one year may be reconsidered in a subsequent year. SGE
nominees must be U.S. citizens and cannot be full-time employees of the
U.S. Government. Candidates should submit the following items:
[ssquf] Current curriculum vitae, including complete contact
information (telephone numbers, mailing address, email address).
[ssquf] At least one letter of recommendation from person(s) not
employed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
(Candidates may submit letter(s) from current HHS employees if they
wish, but at least one letter must be submitted by a person not
employed by an HHS agency (e.g., CDC, NIH, FDA, etc.).
[ssquf] A short biography (150 words or less).
Nominations may be submitted by the candidate him- or herself, or
by the person/organization recommending the candidate.
The Director, Office of Strategic Business Initiatives, Office of
the Chief Operating Officer, Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, has been delegated the authority to sign Federal Register
notices pertaining to announcements of meetings and other committee
management activities, for both the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
