TRUSTEE NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE SEEKS NOMINEES
ÂÌñÒùÆÞ’s Trustee Nominations Committee is seeking names of people who are willing to be considered for nomination to the ÂÌñÒùÆÞ Board of Trustees (Classes of 2020 and 2021). The committee seeks individuals who are willing to consider service as either Individual Trustees or as Institutional Representative Trustees. We anticipate one opening for an individual trustee in the Class of 2020 (2019-2020) and openings for two individual trustees and two institutional trustees for three-year terms as members of the Class of 2021 (2019-2021). Any full ÂÌñÒùÆÞ member may be considered for nomination as an Individual Trustee, while only institutional representatives of ÂÌñÒùÆÞ Member Schools may be considered for nomination as an Institutional Representative Trustee.
The ÂÌñÒùÆÞ Board of Trustees sets the direction for ÂÌñÒùÆÞ and provides oversight for our organization. We encourage you to consider serving on the board, or to share names of people who you think would be a good fit. Among other responsibilities, members of the Board agree to attend two meetings each year at their own expense, to participate thoughtfully in the governance process, and to contribute financially to ÂÌñÒùÆÞ. At this stage, nominations may be made simply by sending the person’s name and email address to Marta Ostovich in the ÂÌñÒùÆÞ office. Questions about service on the ÂÌñÒùÆÞ board or about the selection process may be addressed to Ann-Marie Knoblauch, chair of the nominations committee. Self-nominations are encouraged. The ÂÌñÒùÆÞ office will contact all nominees to describe the responsibilities in greater detail, and to make sure that the nominee is willing to have his or her name discussed by the Trustee Nominations Committee.
After the Committee selects individuals for nomination, the election will take place by electronic ballot during October. ÂÌñÒùÆÞ is once again conducting online voting to ensure that more of our members are able to participate in this important process. The ÂÌñÒùÆÞ office will work with any person who is not able to complete an electronic ballot to make sure that everyone is included.
Members of The Trustee Nominations Committee include Ann-Marie Knoblauch (chair) and Theodore Burgh. In order to receive full consideration by the committee, nominations must be submitted to info@asor.org by September 27, 2018 by October 5, 2018 (extended deadline).
