NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE

The Nominating Committee shall be composed of three members appointed by the President and approved by the Board: Chairperson, member of the Board, and one member from the membership at large. The duties of the Nominating Committee shall include securing validation of eligibility and consent of nominees for each office, accepting nominations beginning in January and presenting a slate of prepared candidates by April. The Nominating Committee shall establish policies and procedures to ensure that only ballots returned by SMHCA members will be counted.

• Submit the Chapter of the Year nomination to FMHCA.
• Submit Individual Nominations for Awards for the FMHCA Conference.  Nominations due November 30th.
• Review what was submitted last year for the Chapter of the Year.  The goal is to show growth from the year before.
• Discuss times for sending out email blasts to the membership to ask for interests in serving on the board so there will be a list of candidates available at all times.
• Plan for the Nominations process so the committee members are doing the majority of the work.
