Are you interested in being part of the team that plans CCAS’s annual national meeting? Do you want to be more involved in your Society? What could you bring to the team?

The CCAS Education Committee is looking for Program Shadows to work in tandem with the meeting Program Chairs and Co-Chairs to plan the educational programs for the CCAS 2026 Annual Meeting.

Eligibility Guidelines:
• Availability to participate in planning meetings (Zoom) and email communication with planning team members
• CCAS Member in good standing with 7 or less years postgraduate training (trainee members not eligible)
• Approval from your division/department leadership to serve in the role (time commitment)
• Members who have previously served as shadows or program chairs (SPA, CCAS, or SPPM) are not eligible

Expectations:
• The position will require a 1-year commitment
• The Program Shadow will be responsible for working with the Program Chair and Research Committee Chair to coordinate abstract submissions and Professor Poster Rounds

This represents an ideal opportunity for faculty who are between 3 and 7 years out of fellowship and interested in getting more involved in the Congenital Cardiac Anesthesia Society.
