What does the NANN Nominations Committee do?
The NANN Nominations Committee is charged with identifying and slating candidates for the NANN Board of Directors each year. The committee actively vets, reviews, interviews, and ultimately slates candidates for the NANN membership to vote on.

What is the time commitment?
NANN's Call for Nominations generally opens around the beginning of February and closes mid-April. During this time, we ask the committee to support the call by spreading the word. The primary bulk of the work for the committee takes place mid-April to mid-June and is dedicated to the review of applications, interviewing selected candidates, and finalizing the slate for membership vote. We estimate anywhere from 10-20 hours of work total.
How long is the term?
Committee members serve one, two-year term with the option to renew for another two-year term. Members cannot serve on multiple committees at the same time.
