2014 - 2015

Board of Directors Nomination Form

The nominating/application process is designed to identify, encourage and enlist the active participation of dedicated professionals in the service of AAF Seattle at a leadership level. This information will assist the nominating committee in conducting a fair and equitable evaluation, deliberation, and recommendation process for all nominated candidates. Each nominee is expected to complete the same form so that the nominating committee may consider the credentials of all candidates individually, as well as comparatively.

The nominating committee consists of three current board members who are not up for re-election, and shall report back to the entire board of directors their proposed slate of nominees on June 18th at the club’s regularly scheduled monthly Board Meeting. Upon approval of the current board of directors, the full slate will be shared with AAF Members in good standing for election of the new board. The vote will be to elect the entire proposed slate, not individuals. The new board of directors will take office July 1, 2014.

If you have questions about this form or the nominating process, please contact Ashley Ernst, AAF Seattle Secretary at secretary@aafseattle.com or Renee Peterson, AAF Seattle President at president@aafseattle.com
