BOARD NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE SEEKS NAMES TO CONSIDER FOR NOMINATION TO THE ASOR BOARD OF TRUSTEES
ASOR’s Board Nominations Committee is seeking names of people who are willing to be considered for nomination to the ASOR Board of Trustees (Class of 2018). The committee seeks names of people who are willing to consider service as either Individual Trustees or as Institutional Representative Trustees. We anticipate two openings for three-year terms (2016-2018) in each category. Any full ASOR member may be considered for nomination as an Individual Trustee, while only institutional representatives of ASOR Member Schools may be considered for nomination as an Institutional Representative Trustee.
The ASOR Board of Trustees sets the direction for ASOR and provides oversight for our organization. We thus encourage you to consider serving on the board or to share names of people who you think would be a good fit for the Board. Among other responsibilities, members of the Board agree to attend two meetings each year at their own expense, to participate thoughtfully in the goverance 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 ASOR office (asor@bu.edu). Questions about service on the ASOR board or about the selection process may be addressed to Larry Geraty (lgeraty@lasierra.edu), chair of the nominations committee. Self-nominations are encouraged. The ASOR office will contact everyone who is nominated to describe in greater detail the responsibilities 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 September and October. ASOR is moving to online voting to ensure that more of our members are able to participate in this important process. The ASOR office 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 July 15, 2015.
