The CAFP Committee Nominations Cycle
With the recent appointment of new committee members, CAFP has now fully executed the annual, open committee nominations cycle. This year, we received over 40 applications from incredible members throughout the state and are excited to welcome many of them to new committee positions. We are additionally delighted to welcome 8 students and residents to committees. In December 2025, the CAFP Board approved expanding committee charters to add more positions for student and resident members, resulting in a doubling of selections this year.
