Leadership Development Committee and Committee Nomination Process

Leadership Development Committee

Purpose: The Leadership Development Committee (LDC) constructs a contested slate for president-elect, treasurer and at-large directors. The Committee also identifies and recruits candidates with the aid of the Advisory Council and membership-at-large.

The Leadership Development Committee will accomplish these tasks by:  

• Conducting interviews and clarifying competencies and multi-representational balance elements with the Board.  
• Developing a rubric for the evaluation of candidates for consistent, uniform evaluation.  
• Conducting a fair, transparent and consistently applied process for candidate evaluation.

Composition: The immediate past president chairs the LDC as a nonvoting member for one year. Three members of the APS Board of Directors, who are serving the third year of their term, also serve on the LDC for one year. Six non-Board members selected by the Advisory Council serve a two-year nonrenewable term. The APS CEO serves as ex officio without vote.

Meetings: The LDC will meet in the fall to discuss candidates submitted by membership. The Committee’s selections will be submitted for approval at the fall Board of Directors meeting.
