Send us trustee nominations

Nominations are now being accepted for Modern Healthcare's 2010 Trustee of the Year competition.

The awards, co-sponsored by executive search firm Witt/Kieffer, honor two outstanding trustees for their contributions to healthcare governance, one award for small healthcare organizations—those with fewer than 250 beds or less than $75 million in annual revenue—and another award for larger organizations.

Per editorial policy, sponsors are not involved in the judging or determination of award recipients.

To make a nomination, send Modern Healthcare a letter no longer than five pages long detailing the person's background and accomplishments in his or her role as a healthcare trustee.

Letters also should include the number of years the trustee has been on the board; the name of the healthcare organization's CEO; the organization's number of staffed beds, if applicable; and 2008 total revenue. Send letters to Modern Healthcare, Trustee of the Year Awards, c/o David May, assistant managing editor/features, 360 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, Ill., 60601.

The deadline for nominations is Nov. 30.
