The IDSA Nominations Committee is delighted to present the following individuals who have been nominated for elevated leadership roles within the Society. The positions they will fill are on the Board of Directors, Districts Committee and Education Council. Each role, except for the Chair-Elect, is a two (2) year term beginning in 2020 and ending in 2021.
Our thanks go to the Committee, led by Chris Brown, IDSA. Chris and the team worked tirelessly over the past year developing and implementing an improved candidate experience centered on clarity and transparency. The process included:
- A robust Call for Interest period that featured more descriptive and meaningful position overviews.
- A Board Candidate material packet, outlining expectations for serving on the Board.
- Tools such as a structured interview-like process and a candidate matrix, meant to provide objectivity when building Boards and committees that represent the diversity within our community. Note: diversity stretches beyond race and gender; tangible and intangible attributes are also considered, such as diversity in thought, level of IDSA experience, etc.
In line with their purpose, the Nominations Committee identified and vetted the slate of candidates to ensure they met the qualifications required to serve. Subsequently, the slate was endorsed by the Board and is being presented to the membership for voting. The slate will remain posted for 30 days before voting starts, in accordance with the Bylaws.
Nominations Committee: Chris Brown, IDSA, Vijay Chakravarthy, IDSA, Ed Dorsa, L/IDSA, Shawn Egan, IDSA, Henry Hiltner, IDSA, John McCabe, IDSA
