The Nominating Committee identifies and recruits members to serve as Chapter officers. This committee is always looking for those who are willing to share their leadership and support to the Chapter as officers. This should be a committee of three to five members who have a wide circle of acquaintances in the chapter.

The committee:

• Conducts a preliminary planning session to assign responsibilities, establish deadlines, and distribute copies of the membership roster
• Invites members, through the newsletter, chapter Web site, and announcements at chapter meetings, to run for office or to suggest possible candidates
• Assembles the committee, as needed, to evaluate the qualifications of potential candidates proposed by chapter members, as well as by committee members
• Assigns committee members to approach qualified potential candidates to determine their willingness to stand for election
• Advises the administrative council of potential candidates who are willing to run, and announces the slate in the newsletter and at a chapter meeting
• Guides the election process from preparing a ballot and holding the election to overseeing the collection and counting of ballots (the election should be held well before the final chapter meeting of the year, preferably in March or early April)
• Reports results to the administrative council and the candidates as soon as they are known
• Gives results to the newsletter editor for publication before the installation ceremonies
• Gives the chapter treasurer the names and addresses of the elected officers for inclusion in the chapter’s financial report to the Society
• Reminds the president to notify the STC office and director of new officers
• May be assigned to identify candidates for other purposes, such as local recognition, distinguished chapter service award, associate fellows, or Society–level office
