Board of Directors 


NQF’s Board of Directors

The NQF Board of Directors oversees the entirety of the organization, with a specific focus on strategic policy issues. The Board also performs important fiduciary duties. The 27-member Board is comprised of key public- and private- sector leaders who represent all major stakeholder groups. Each member of the Board serves a three-year term. Three of the Board’s twenty-seven seats are reserved for the directors of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and the National Institutes of Health. Consumers and purchasers hold a simple majority of the at-large seats, and the NQF president serves ex-officio.

The Board of Directors meets three times a year. Meetings are open to the public, except for executive sessions.

Meeting agendas and other materials are generally posted 1 week prior to a board meeting. All board meetings are scheduled to begin by 8:00am ET and end by 3:00pm ET, unless otherwise noted.
