Q: How will the Slate of Board candidate nominees, being presented for vote by the general membership, be selected?
A: The general membership has voted to use a nominating committee to create the slate of board candidates. The Nominating Committee will review the list of desired board member skills and competencies, adopted by the Board of Directors, as well as the board gap analysis identifying what skills and competencies are missing or underrepresented on the current board. Based on this analysis, and an evaluation of the applicants for the board, the committee will identify and move forward a slate for vote by the general membership.
