Appendix B: Leadership of the National Forum

This year, 2008, marks the first transition of leadership for the National Forum for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention. About half the members have completed their two-year terms of office and will leave the National Forum Coordinating Board, as called for in the operating policies of the organization.

Newly elected members are designated by an asterisk in the 2008–2009 lists of Executive Officers and Coordinating Board members. They will begin their terms of office at the 2008 National Forum Meeting in Washington, D.C. The National Forum is gratefully acknowledges the expertise, wisdom, and commitment of all who provided leadership during 2007–2008.
