Nominating Committee
The entire Regional Management Team (RMT) must be involved in the election and appointment process in order for the process to be successful. The RMT appoints the Nominating Committee, which is responsible for carrying out the processes of electing and appointing new members to the RMT.
There are two related activities that should be ongoing, year-round, which support the process of electing and appointing members to the RMT.
The annual Nominating Committee includes:
Starting in February, the Nominating Committee sends materials to each chapter, including Chapter-at-Large, to solicit applicants for RMT positions. The materials should include a cover letter describing the application and election/appointment process, application form, job descriptions for each RMT position, and a list of suggested qualifications for potential nominees. The materials must make it clear that submitting an application does not guarantee a nomination to the RMT. Several packages of materials should be prepared and distributed to RMT members and to the members of the Nominating Committee (see below) to use in soliciting applications for the RMT. These materials may be supplemented by telephone calls, information on a Web site and/or by personal visits of RMT members and Nominating Committee members to the chapters in the region.
Tellers Committee
After the slate(s) are selected, but before they are distributed, the Nominating Committee appoints a Chair of the Tellers Committee and submits her name to the RMT for ratification. The Chair of the Tellers Committee selects three other people who are not nominees to serve on the Tellers Committee. Members of the Tellers Committee are chosen for accuracy and dependability. They must understand the election procedures and keep the results of the voting confidential. Tellers do vote with their chapters for the nominees on the slate.
There are two related activities that should be ongoing, year-round, which support the process of electing and appointing members to the RMT.
- Developing interest in serving on the RMT is the responsibility of all members of the RMT and should happen on an ongoing basis. Not only is each RMT member responsible for identifying and developing potential successors to her job, she is also responsible for general PR and education of the region about the RMT in general.
- Developing the regional leadership database is the responsibility of the Communications Coordinator. Through this ongoing activity, potential regional leaders may be identified and “cultivated” by inviting them to become involved in various appointed and/or committee activities prior to asking them if they might be interested in a position on the RMT
The annual Nominating Committee includes:
- One Member of the RMT
- Two members from the membership at large
