Co-Chair Handbook Information

Co-Chair Welcome

Thanks so much for serving as an HL7 Co-Chair. We’ve created this wiki to make it easier to find items you may need. Over time we plan to add webinars to provide “on demand” instructions. We’ve included a link to the current Co-Chair Handbook in case you prefer a .pdf document.

If you have not had a chance to attend the co-chair training at a Working Group Meeting, the New Co-Chair Training slideshow may be informative.
