Nominating Committee

PURPOSE: The Nominating Committee selects a slate for President elect and Councilors from candidates nominated by the membership.

MEETINGS: The committee meets once annually, in the fall. Other work of the committee may be conducted electronically.

COMPOSITION:

The Nominating Committee consists of the immediate past president, who is the chair, and members of the Section Advisory Committee (the Section chairs) or their representative. The immediate past president may cast a tie-breaking vote when needed. The executive director and the Section Advisory Committee chair serve as ex officio members, without vote.

  • Promote the inclusion of underrepresented groups in the Society’s leadership.
