Call for Nominations: Join the WOMMA Board
While it may be nearly two years until the next federal election, at WOMMA, every year is an election year. In fact, our next Board election is scheduled to take place this spring and we're looking for committed, enthusiastic WOMMA members who are willing to invest their time and capital, and to leverage their reputation and contacts, to take WOMMA to the next level. Here's how it works ...
1. The Process
WOMMA holds what is called a "single-slate" election. A nominating committee of members -- selected by WOMMA's Leadership Committee and the Board of Directors -- chooses a slate of candidates equal to the number of open seats on the Board of Directors; this year there are eight seats open, seven with two-year terms and one with a one-year term. Candidates are chosen from nominations made by members, who may nominate themselves. Each WOMMA member company has one vote. Write-in votes are permitted.
2. How to Be Nominated for a Board Seat
All interested members are encouraged to run for the Board of Directors. As a Director, your job will be to help our industry and our association grow and prosper. Directors must be members in good standing, have a stellar record on ethics, and be able to commit approximately five hours per month to Board leadership. Candidates must receive endorsements from three fellow members from three different WOMMA member companies in good standing as of March 1, 2007, in order for their nomination to be valid. A statement of qualifications and a photo are required.
3. Next Steps
--> Make sure your dues are paid in full.
--> Make a nomination to the Board by Feb. 15; find out how at www.womma.org/elections.
--> Confirm the voting member from your organization.
--> Vote on the Nominating Committee's chosen slate of Board candidates between March 9 and March 31.
