Nominations Committee

Posted on Posted in Committees

The Nominations Committee is one of the three elected committees serving the Association. The Nominations Committee nominates candidates for membership on the three elected committees of the Association: The Publications Committee, the Committee on Committees, and the Nominations Committee, and for each elective office in the Association: President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Members of the PSA Council (Board of Directors). The Nominations Committee consists of the Past President who serves ex officio as chair without a vote, and three members elected at-large by the entire voting membership of the Association. One elected member shall retire each year on a rotating basis so that a member from each successive geographical division is elected each year.

The year following each name indicates the ballots the person is responsible for; because much of this committee’s work is done in the summer, after the conference, in order to prepare a slate of candidates for the fall ballot, their terms are different than other committees.
