WVUH has a 17-member board, and one member is a hospital employee who is elected by staff. Mark Smith is the current employee representative on the board. Since Smith has served for one term, he will be eligible for re-election if nominated.

The employee receiving the most votes will be named to the Board of Directors on July 27 and will begin his or her term Wednesday, Aug. 1.
