A reminder as to the duties of and process used by the Nominating Committee.

The Nominating Committee itself is nominated by the Board of Governors each year and voted in by the Members at the Annual Meeting, to serve until the following Annual Meeting. The slate of candidates for the Nominating Committee, including its Chair, is typically presented by the Club President to the Board of Governors in February or March The Committee consists of members of the Club who the Board feels either have been active in the Club or have insight into candidates from the community, or both

The Nominating Committee meets each December or January with the Executive Committee of the Board of Governors and the General Manager to discuss the current productivity and functionality of the Board of Governors, the range of issues which are being considered by the Board, and the areas where the Executive Committee and the General Manager thought they might need additional help from future Board members.That meeting took place in January 2023. The Committee reviewed the rosters of the various Club Committees and discussed the leadership of those committees and potential successors to those leaders.The Committee also invited each member of the Executive Committee and the General Manager to feel free to contact the Chair of the Nominating Committee if they had any concerns about the performance of any fellow officer or Board member.

In the weeks following that meeting, the Chair of the Nominating Committee had conversations with each of the members of the Executive Committee and many of the Board members, soliciting their opinions on their willingness to serve in the future, their own assessments of the performance of fellow Board members and officers, and their thoughts about potential leaders developing on various committees In addition, all members of the Nominating Committee and the General Manager were encouraged to seek input from Club Members at large about their satisfaction with the current Board and Executive Committee.The Committee also solicited suggestions from club leadership and other community members for potential nominees for the Board of Governors and reviewed their qualifications and membership credentials.

The Nominating Committee had a meeting on its own in February 2023 where it considered feedback from all of the above-mentioned sources and reviewed the needs of the Board of Governors for the upcoming year and in future years.

At that meeting the Committee reviewed a list of potential Board members that is maintained by the Chair and the Club’s Membership Secretary That list includes information on the member’s tenure with the Club, committee activity, frequency of use at the Club, and professional and educational expertise. Based upon the discussion in that meeting, the Nominating Committee priority ranks their preliminary choices for officer and Board positions and asks the Chair to have a conversation with each person so identified regarding that person’s willingness and availability to serve. With feedback from those conversations in hand, the Nominating Committee reconvened in March and, considering the information gathered by the Chair, chose a proposed slate of Officers and Board members for election at the Club’s Annual Meeting. This listing is posted in the Clubhouse and also shared via email notifications regarding the proxy voting process.

We are pleased with the slate of candidates we were able to present this year, and would be happy to receive suggestions for consideration as future members of the Board of Governors from any Member. Suggestions may be submitted to the Chair of the Nominating Committee via the Club’s Membership Secretary.

Respectfully submitted,

Michael H. Shanahan, gb’82 Chair
