    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is soliciting

faith-based and community-based sector, and allied fields who are 
selected by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services (HHS). The committee advises the HHS Secretary and the CDC 
Director concerning policy and broad strategies that will enable CDC to 
fulfill its mission of protecting health through health promotion, 
prevention, and preparedness. The committee recommends ways to 
prioritize CDC's activities, improve results, and address health 
disparities. It also provides guidance to help CDC work more 
effectively with its various private and public sector constituents to 
make health protection a practical reality.
    Nominations are being sought for individuals who have expertise and 
qualifications necessary to contribute to the accomplishment of the 
committee's mission. Nominees will be selected by the HHS Secretary or 
designee from authorities knowledgeable in the fields of public health 
as well as from the general public. Members may be invited to serve for 
terms of up to four years.

consideration is given to a broad representation of geographic areas 
within the U.S., with diverse representation of both genders, ethnic 
and racial minorities, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender and 
persons with disabilities. Nominees must be U.S. citizens, and cannot 
be full-time employees of the U.S. Government.
    Candidates should submit the following items:

information (name, affiliation, mailing address, telephone number, 
email address);
     A letter of recommendation stating the qualifications of 
the candidate.
