BOARD NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE SEEKS NOMINEES
ASOR’s Board Nominations Committee is seeking names of people who are willing to be considered for nomination to the 17³Ô¹ÏBoard of Trustees (Class of 2019). The committee seeks individuals who are willing to consider service as either Individual Trustees or as Institutional Representative Trustees. We anticipate two openings for three-year terms (2017-2019) in each category. Any full 17³Ô¹Ïmember may be considered for nomination as an Individual Trustee, while only institutional representatives of 17³Ô¹ÏMember Schools may be considered for nomination as an Institutional Representative Trustee.
The 17³Ô¹ÏBoard of Trustees sets the direction for 17³Ô¹Ïand provides oversight for our organization. We encourage you to consider serving on the board, or to share names of people who you think would be a good fit. Among other responsibilities, members of the Board agree to attend two meetings each year at their own expense, to participate thoughtfully in the governance process, and to contribute financially to ASOR. At this stage, nominations may by made simply by sending the person’s name and email address to Britta Abeln in the 17³Ô¹Ïoffice. Questions about service on the 17³Ô¹Ïboard or about the selection process may be addressed to Larry Geraty, chair of the nominations committee. Self-nominations are encouraged. The 17³Ô¹Ïoffice will contact all nominees to describe the responsibilities in greater detail, and to make sure that the nominee is willing to have his or her name discussed by the Board Nominations Committee.
After the Committee selects individuals for nomination, the election will take place by electronic ballot during late September and October. 17³Ô¹Ïis once again conducting online voting to ensure that more of our members are able to participate in this important process. The 17³Ô¹Ïoffice will work with any person who is not able to complete an electronic ballot to make sure that everyone is included.
The Board Nominations Committee consists of Larry Geraty (chair), Rachel Hallote, and Ann-Marie Knoblauch. In order to receive full consideration by the committee, nominations must be submitted to asor@bu.edu by September 1, 2016.
