SPN COMMITTEES
SPN's committees and task forces are working groups comprised of dedicated volunteers who contribute time and effort to achieving annual goals. The Chair and Chair-Elect of committees are appointed by SPN leadership, and both committee and task force work is integral to the fulfillment of SPN's strategic goals.
SPN recognizes the importance of creating and supporting a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion across our organization and the pediatrics specialty. To advance DEI in SPN, committee members consider and operationalize DEI principles through committee goals.
