Each spring, a Nominating Committee shall be appointed by the President to nominate persons for the various offices and the Board of Directors. The report of the Nominating Committee shall be made in the business session of the annual meeting. Submission of nominees by the Nominating Committee shall not preclude nominations from the floor.

Revised version

​

"The Board will discuss the expected changeover of Board positions at the spring meeting. At this meeting, the President will present a list of current positions being held by Board members, and identify which ones will need to be filled by the time of the fall conference. Board members will briefly report on the description of their currently held position (as stated in the constitution), what they have done in the position during their tenure, and a general description of what is required in the position in terms of time and effort needed to sufficiently carry out the position's responsibilities well. Interested parties will have the opportunity to ask questions and to indicate their willingness to serve in a specific position. At the conclusion of this discussion, a slate of prospective nominees should be established."
