How is the slate determined?
After reviewing applicants’ letters and conducting interviews, the Nominating Committee will recommend a slate to the Board of Trustees, taking into account the pre-determined skills that the board needs. Depending upon the number of seats available and the number of qualified candidates, the slate may be either contested (more candidates than seats) or uncontested (equal number of candidates and seats.)
Current board members whose three-year terms have expired and are interested in serving again will run for election the same as other candidates. Four (4) currently sitting trustees will stand for re-election in January.
Questions on this should be addressed to Nominating Committee Chair Mary-Faith Westervelt at mfhatty@optonline,net or President of the Board of Trustees Dave Roggie at ..
