The Nominating Committee of the LSP Association (LSPA) is in the process of developing a slate of candidates for the three available positions on the LSPA's Board of Directors. These are three-year positions beginning on July 1, 2024. The Board is comprised of nine members, two of whom may be Associate (non-LSP) members. Current Board members are listed on the LSPA website here.
We are posting this information in advance of developing the slate to solicit your suggestions for possible candidates, as well as to inform you about the process. The criteria that the Nominating Committee considers for a candidate for our Board of Directors include:
- Being an LSPA member in good standing,
- Exhibiting a demonstrated interest in serving the LSPA,
- Understanding the issues facing the LSPA, and
- Having familiarity with the LSPA's governance, such as involvement in LSPA Committee work.
The Committee plans to present recommendations for the slate of candidates to the LSPA Board on March 22, 2024.
If you would like to be considered for one of these Board positions or know of someone who would make a good candidate, please contact any of the Nominating Committee members, listed below, no later than Tuesday, March 19, 2024.
Please note that the LSPA Bylaws allow the number of candidates to be nominated by the Committee to be "at least equal to the number of open positions." The Bylaws, however, also provide for the inclusion of additional candidates on the ballot if nominated by a petition signed by at least ten LSPA members in good standing. More specific information on the written petition process will be provided to members when the Board of Directors' slate of candidates is announced.
