NOMINATING COMMITTEE At the February Board Meeting the President should ask for two volunteers to serve on the nominating committee. At the February luncheon she will ask for three volunteers from the general membership to serve. Immediately following the luncheon the five members should briefly get together to: 1. Appoint a chairperson 2. Set up a time and location for the first meeting - preferably within the week. (They usually meet only 3 or 4 times.) NOMINATING COMMITTEE MEMBERS NEED TO KEEP ALL DISCUSSIONS OF THEIR MEETINGS CONFIDENTIAL. As they make calls, it saves time if they have an alternate job to offer if the first is turned down. The nominating committee chairperson presents the proposed slate at the March Board Meeting and Luncheon. She should furnish a copy of this slate to the President, Secretary, and Newsletter Editor. The Newsletter Editor should publish the slate in the April newsletter. The Parliamentarian conducts the election of officers at the April luncheon and their installation at the May luncheon. The outgoing President furnished a long stem rose to the President, ist VP, 2nd VP, 3rd VP, 4th VP, Secretary and Treasurer at the installation in May. mine THAN No member should serve on the nominating committee,two years in succession. When you make phone calls & someone turns down a job, ask them not to tell anyone, so people won't be hurt that they were not asked first. The committee may want to get the original membership forms from the circulation manager. They contain personal information and interests of the members which could be helpful. Also the committee will need the job descriptions - provided by the President.
