Nominate an Individual
Please use the form at right to nominate an individual for a Board At-Large position. Before making a nomination, please ensure potential nominees are (1) willing to serve on the AUCD Board for the specified term and (2) have the financial support of their center to travel to meetings (or have communicated with AUCD about the need for potential financial support). *Note: travel to in-person Board meetings will most likely resume summer 2021. A separate form must be completed for each individual nominated. Self-nominations are accepted and encouraged. The AUCD Board specifically encourages nominations of people from underrepresented backgrounds.
Nominations will be reviewed by the Board Nominating Committee that is chaired by the AUCD Board Past-President and consists of both Board and network members. The Nominating Committee will use a range of information that helps to determine the demographic, program, diversity, and other needs of the current Board, in determining a slate of candidates for voting.
Once the Nominating Committee has determined a slate of candidates, those individuals will be asked to complete a brief bio-sketch regarding the potential candidate's vision for AUCD and their leadership and commitment to diversity and inclusion. These statements and a photo will be posted alongside the final slate of candidates on the election website that will go out to Directors for voting in late September.
We encourage participation in this process so that an excellent slate of candidates can be presented to the Association membership for election.
Deadline
All nomination forms are due by COB on Friday, September 11 to Laura Martin by email.
Questions
Questions about the nomination and/or election process should be directed to AUCD staff, Laura Martin, Board Nominating Committee Chair, Amy Hewitt, or Board President, Sachin Pavithran.
