Deadline date: June 30, 2005

The Black Commissioned Officer Advisory Group (BCOAG) is soliciting nominations, including self-nominations, to serve a 3-year term beginning January 2006.

The purpose of the BCOAG is to serve as an advocate for black commissioned officers in regard to their (1) participation and representation in activities of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (Corps); and (2) professional and personal growth in the Corps. BCOAG’s membership consists of officers from the Department of Health and Human Services’ Operating Divisions/Staff Divisions and non-HHS organizations that are routinely staffed by Corps officers. BCOAG serves an important leadership role by providing advice and consultation to the Surgeon General on matters related to the Corps.
