The mission of the
Nominating Committee is to identify and recruit potential leaders
to either run for office or accept appointments to leadership
positions in order to increase member involvement and diversity
of the leadership. Diversity encompasses gender, race,
ethnicity, age, sexual preference, geographic region, and institutional
type.
The Committee will
prepare a slate of candidates for the nomination deadline set
for the following year (i.e., the year when the next past president
becomes the Chair). The Committee will make every effort to
solicit and present two qualified candidates for each elected
position, keeping diversity in mind, and make recommendations
to the President regarding appointed positions—if requested.
Additionally, the Committee will nominate a candidate to the
Board whenever an unexpected vacancy occurs in the elected Board
of Directors, with said candidate to be elected by a majority
vote of the remaining members of the Board.
