KCBA NOMINATIONS AND ELECTIONS PROCESS 2008-2009
The KCBA Nominating Committee will be chaired in 2008-2009 by immediate past-president Eileen Concannon.
Please email KCBA Executive Director, Andrew Prazuch at AndrewP@KCBA.org to suggest KCBA members whom you believe to be good leaders for Trustee and Officer positions to be vacated June 30, 2009. Those positions will be:
- Two Central District Trustee positions (2 nominees for each)
- One Treasurer position (2 nominees)
- One Secretary/Trustee position (2 nominees)
- One Second Vice-President position (2 nominees)
The Nominating Committee will begin meeting January 2009, and will submit a report to the Board of Trustees on February 18, 2008.
The Nominating Committee seeks broad diversity for the Board of Trustees and Officers, including ethnicity, gender, practice area, firm size, and geographic diversity.
Nominees must be members in good standing of the KCBA. (Staff will confirm that eligibility from names presented.) All positions have three year terms except for the Treasure position which has a two year term, beginning July 1. Expectations for KCBA Officers and Trustees can be found at Expectations.
Bylaws provide that there must be at least two nominees for each vacancy. The bylaws also require a succession to the Presidency. The successful candidate for Second Vice-President becomes the sole nominee the following year for First Vice-President. The First Vice-President becomes the sole nominee for President the following year.
Ballots will be mailed to members on or before April 20, 2009, and must be returned by 5 PM on May 1, 2009, for canvass on May 5, 2009. New terms begin July 1, 2009.
