This committee is responsible for conducting the annual NSS election and nominating candidates for NSS officers. Each fall the Nominating Committee solicits candidates for NSS Director. In addition to the candidates solicited by the committee, any member in good standing may be placed on the ballot by a petition signed by 25 voting NSS members. The committee publishes candidate information and distributes ballots to every voting NSS member in the spring. After counting the ballots returned, it announces election results. The elected directors assume office at the annual Convention and serve a three-year term. Each year four directors are elected. While directors are elected by the general membership, the directors elect NSS officers. The Executive Search Committee solicits potential candidates and develops a slate of candidates for each office. Any director can nominate additional candidates. The President is elected at the spring Board of Governors meeting. The Secretary-Treasurer is elected at the fall Board of Governors meeting, while the Vice Presidents are elected at the annual Convention. Officers are elected for one-year terms. Any member who desires to be a director or officer of the NSS should contact the Nominating Committee or Executive Search Committee respectively.
