How do I best communicate my thoughts about an individual being considered for a position?
In January or February of a Convention year, the list of nominees will be published. At that time, you may complete the feedback form. The feedback form will ask you questions regarding a nominee’s leadership skills, experiences, strengths, and weaknesses. Specific examples of your interaction with a nominee will be helpful to the committee. The form is automatically sent to the Leadership Selection Committee Chair.
Who will see my comments?
Completed feedback forms are kept confidential among the Leadership Selection Committee. Only the Leadership Selection Committee Chair and Vice Chair will see the name of the individual submitting the form. Your name will be removed prior to sharing the feedback with the rest of the committee.
Will my views be considered? Will they carry any weight?
The feedback submitted to the committee is given careful consideration. This information is extremely important to the overall process because you are the one who has worked closely with the individuals being considered.
Will it help if I campaign for a particular individual?
No. Campaigning is highly discouraged. The Leadership Selection Committee gives careful consideration to information received regarding each candidate. The Leadership Selection Committee’s focus is on matching candidates’ talents to the position requirements to ensure effectiveness and success in each role.
