Board Nomination Process
The Nominations Committee members release a Call for Board Nominations to the ARCS community at large in January. Self-nominations of interested candidates are submitted via e-mail directly to the ARCS Vice President. After the closing of the open Nominations Call, the Nominations Committee reviews all Nominees ensuring that their submission meets the requirements of the Board Call Position.
Complete, submitted Nominee materials of eligible Nominees are organized, reviewed, and spot-checked by the Nominations Committee. The Nominations Committee then assigns members to interview each prospective candidate. The interview questions, current ARCS Strategic Plan, current IDEA Action Plan, membership profile information, and a list of the committee Chairs and board Liaison are shared with each candidate in advance of their interview.
Following the interviews of the Nominees, the Nominations Committee members discuss the Nominee's interview responses. Following this discussion, the Nominations Committee confirms Nominees into Candidates for the General Election. Candidates are notified of their confirmation to General Election and requested to complete a supplemental Candidate Packet to provide additional information to membership about each Candidate. The General Election opens to Membership at the start of April, votes collected for the month, with final confirmation to the Board at the start of May.
