  • Electing a cardiothoracic surgery representative to the Early Career and Trainee Committee
  • Providing a cardiothoracic surgery professional's voice in the Leadership Advisory Forum
  • Providing cardiothoracic surgery content experts to participate in developing and delivering ISHLT’s programs and services and serving in other volunteer capacities
  • Networking with colleagues and engage with each other regarding issues of interest in CT surgery
  • Mentoring surgeons in the early stages of their career
  • Welcoming new surgeons into the Society
