YPT – The Young Professionals in Transplantation Committee – would like to announce a call for nominations for two Board members. The new YPT Board Members will hold office for four years (2026–2030), starting in September 2026.
All ESOT/YPT affiliates are eligible to submit their applications for the positions. You may nominate yourself or a colleague.
In addition, considering the specialties currently represented on the Board, YPT encourages applications from junior transplant professionals (permanent members of staff within 5 years of their appointment and trainees). The expectation is that successful candidates will become actively involved in the Association by attending Board meetings, educational events (courses), and the annual meetings. Please note that Board members act as volunteers and therefore serve without compensation.
The two new members will also be expected to contribute to the management of YPT social media and communication activities for YPT members, as well as to support the development of the technology topic and the YPT podcast initiatives.
We would particularly welcome applications from nursing and allied health professionals, basic scientists, and organ-related specialists representing areas that are currently less represented on the Board.
The YPT Board is strongly committed to the principles of diversity and inclusion and aims to maintain a balance in geographic and professional representation. Members of traditionally underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.
