The Nominations Committee is responsible for preparing a slate of candidates for Board of Directors positions (one for each open Director position) for ratification by the membership, as well as identifying qualified candidates for appointment by the Board for the President-elect and Treasurers position.
Members of the Nominations Committee conduct interviews with potential President-elect and Treasurer candidates as well as Director candidates if deemed necessary.
Led by the Committee Chair, the Committee develops a report presenting the new members to the current board for approval at the May meeting.
