Nominating Committee Members | Duties of the Nominating Committee

The Chairperson shall be the Past President.

The Committee shall nominate the most qualified and competent person for each available office while, whenever possible, selecting a person who also represents a cross-section of the Society. The cross-section criteria shall include geographic area of practice, ethnic background, gender and specialty or general dentistry practice. The Nominating Committee shall also consider regular attendance at the monthly meetings and past committee activity in making the selections.

The Committee shall consider as many candidates as possible for each position and discuss and evaluate the past experience of each person to develop a slate of officers that can carry on the business of the Society in the best interests of organized dentistry.

The Nominating Committee shall submit their proposed nominees to the Board of Directors prior to announcement of the Proposed Slate to the general membership. Candidates should not be formally contacted by the Committee concerning their nominations until the Board of Directors has been notified.

The Committee shall meet in February so that their nominees can be presented to the Board at their March meeting and subsequently to the membership in April. Meeting in February gives the Nominating Committee another month to reconvene if a nominee does not accept the position offered.
