If you are interested in child care as a work-life issue
at the NIH, please consider this opportunity to make a difference! The NIH Child Care Board is seeking interested federal
employees to fill three Board vacancies for the 2015-2018 term. The Child Care
Board advises the NIH Director with regard to child care programs and policies,
as well as advocates for affordable, accessible, and quality child care for the
NIH community. Members serve for three years and are required to attend seven
meetings per calendar year. Participation on the Board is an official duty, may
be included as a non-critical element on an employee’s performance plan, and
requires your supervisor’s approval. You do not need to be a child development expert to join
the Board – just an NIH federal employee with an interest in child
care/work-life issues and a willingness to actively participate in the Board’s
work. For a description of membership requirements, information
about current and past Board activities, and an online application,please visit: http://www.ors.od.nih.gov/pes/dats/childcare/ccb/Pages/childcare_board.aspx The application deadline is June 5, 2015. The NIH Child Care Board will hold its next meeting on
May 28, 2015. Please contact Ms. Tonya Lee, Office of Research Services
(ORS), Division of Amenities and Transportation (DATS), at leet2@mail.nih.gov or (301) 402-8180, if
you are interested in attending this meeting to observe the Board at work or if
you would like more information. You may follow us @NIHEmplSrvcs on Twitter for more

as well as other programs and employee services.
