Read the Job Descriptions:
Submit an Application for Board Nomination between February and March. The Nominations Commitee reviews and scores all applications before recommending a list to the Board of Directors. The Board reviews and approves this list which is then submitted to the members at the Annual General Meeting to vote on. Once approved, individuals on the list immediately become members of the new Board of Directors.
Board of Directors Progeression
Any Directors interested in joining the Executive declare their intentions during the Board Nomination process each spring. Directors generally do this after the completion of at least one two-year term. The current Board holds a secret ballot to elect a Second Vice President whenever more than one director is interested in the position. That individual serves as Second Vice President for the next year before moving to First Vice President. The First Vice President then moves on to become the President. This means that the minimum time required for a complete cycle is six years.
