Members of the Nominating Committee review all submitted application materials and references. They identify a group of potential candidates who are invited to interview with the Committee in February. This meeting can take place at the ORAEYC Affiliate office or virtually for those not living in the Portland Metropolitan area. Based on the interviews, a proposed slate is identified.

Determination of the Slate

The Nominating Committee determines its recommendations for the election slate. Two
candidates will appear on the slate for each available position. All potential members of the slate will be individually assessed, and decisions will be made with respect to Board membership based upon the totality of the candidate’s qualifications. Once the slate has
been decided, it is presented to the Governing Board for its approval, and then presented to the membership for election.

By defining and understanding diversity as broad, multidimensional, and inclusive of diverse viewpoints and perspectives, consistent with the overarching mission and vision of our organization, we acknowledge and honor all personal life experiences and perspectives.
