SSH Development Committee
The Development Committee has openings for committee members! This committee, that oversees the SSH Fund, is charged with furthering the healthcare simulation community through donor support. The work of the committee includes cultivating donors, identifying grant opportunities, stewarding existing donors and funds, and celebrating those who benefit from the SSH Fund. Currently, the SSH Fund supports scholarships, innovation, research, and education—you can be part of helping us grow the fund and support these member-chosen initiatives!
Committee duties include meetings as scheduled (usually monthly), off-cycle work such as on projects, serving as ambassadors for the SSH Fund, and supporting all those who receive awards. If you are interested in being part of this work, please submit your interest statement and CV/Resume using this link. Committee terms will be through the end of IMSH 2029.
If you have any questions, please contact Andrew Spain.
Submissions of interest are due no later than April 3, 2026, 5 p.m. ET.
