The Nomination Committee will consider all nominations, confirm the willingness of the nominees to serve, and report its recommendations to the Board for as many people as there are openings on the Board. The Executive Board elects its members in accordance with the recommendations of the Nomination Committee. The Board may vote on each nominee individually, or by the entire slate. For a nominee to be elected to the Board, more than seventy-five percent of all current Board members must vote in concurrence with the Nomination Committee's recommendations. Selection of new Board members will be completed by June 30 of each year.
Elections normally occur in the second quarter of the calendar year.
Executive Board terms begin on July 1. The Executive Board appoints replacement Board members to fill interim vacancies in elected positions on the Board. Such appointees serve until the end of the term. The Executive Board meets semi-annually. Additional meetings may be called by the Executive Board Chairperson.
