How to Self-Nominate for a Volunteer Position

A task titled “Self-Nomination Form” is available on some diplomate portals regarding volunteer positions. The task is added based on eligibility requirements of open positions.

 

PLEASE NOTE:

  • The “Self-Nomination Form” task is an optional task and does not in any way impact your certification.
  • The task will populate a volunteer opportunity and a corresponding submission form pending availability of positions and your eligibility for any given position(s).
  • You can remove this task but be aware that doing so will result in missing future volunteer opportunities you could be eligible for and interested in pursuing.
  • If you remove this task but want ABOG to add it again later because you want to check on open positions that match your eligibility, please contact us.
  • Volunteer positions are always listed on this page, so checking here periodically will enable you to view open positions and eligibility requirements. If one appears that you’d like to pursue, feel free to contact us.
