EWI Corporate Nominating Committee
We have another leadership opportunity for representatives to step forward and serve EWI. One area of service is our Corporate Nominating Committee. We encourage you to consider serving our organization as a member of this committee. At the Annual Meeting in Kansas City, we will elect three representatives to the 2011 Nominating Committee. The following is an excerpt from our Corporate bylaws regarding the election of Nominating Committee members (Article VI, Section 15, Paragraph D.3.).
ARTICLE VI - CORPORATE BOARD OF DIRECTORS/Section 15. Standing Committees
D. The Nominating Committee, whose duties shall be to recommend to the membership a slate of Officers and Directors to be put before the Delegates for a vote at each Annual Meeting in accordance with methods and procedures established by the Corporate Board, shall consist of five (5) members…(including):
3. One (1) Member (Representative) each from the Western Division, Central Division and Eastern Division (as such divisions are designated by the Corporate Board) elected by the Delegates at the Annual Meeting. The candidate receiving the second highest number of votes shall be the alternate for that Division. In the absence or inability to act as a Committee Member (as that phrase is used above in relation to the Chairman), the alternate candidate shall act as a Committee Member. Each candidate shall be a Chapter President or past Chapter President, a member of a Chapter in the designated division, and an attendee at the Annual Meeting at which elected.
In the event there is no alternate Nominating Committee member within a given division and the elected Nominating Committee member is unable to serve, the Corporate Board shall appoint a replacement Nominating Committee member from that division.
