Fellow Liaisons

Approved by the NNECOS Board of Directors in July of 2016, the NNECOS Fellow Board Liaison positions are two-year, non-voting seats on the Board of Directors, providing representation to the fellowship programs in Northern New England. Fellow liaisons participate in board meetings/teleconferences, on NNECOS committees, and facilitate/promote membership and engagement among their peers.

In 2021, the NNECOS Board Fellow Liaison positions expanded to two representatives from each institution. In 2023, a Radiation Oncology Resident Liaison position was added to expand representation of trainees within the organization.
