Nominating Process for the CALAS/ACSAL Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has a standing Nominations Committee. The mission of the committee is to ensure good governance by ensuring that the Board of Directors has a balanced skill set and fair representation of our membership including:
- Our diverse membership (Technicians, Managers, Veterinarians and Administrators)
- Members from the various geographic regions we serve
- Individuals who possess additional skills that will enhance the overall competency of the Board
The Committee is responsible for reviewing all nominations and ultimately selecting a slate of candidates to be presented to the membership for election to the Board of Directors.
A candidate application and nomination forms are distributed to all members. The committee reviews the applications and supporting documentation, and where appropriate, a member of the committee will reach out to the candidates to obtain additional information. The Nominations Committee meets to review applicants and deliberates the candidates’ qualifications. During the deliberation process, candidates are considered for nomination based on their skills and experience, balanced with the skills and experience needed to balance the current board.
