SECTION 2. REPRESENTATION: Members of the Board of Directors shall not be elected as representatives of business groups or classes. The Board Nomination Committee shall exercise reasonable care as far as it may be practical in securing the representation of varying business interests as nominees for the Board of Directors, in order that it may be truly representative of the Hispanic industrial, commercial and professional life of the community. Consideration shall be given to nominating members of the organization who have performed outstanding committee service.
SECTION 3. SUBSEQUENT BALLOTS: The Board of Directors shall appoint a Nominating Committee, to include the Chairman and 4 of its members who shall prepare a slate of at least 8 nominees for presentation at future general annual meetings, or for mail ballots, at which time elections are to be held. Nominees for three places on the Board of Directors may be invited from the general membership present at a meeting for the purpose of electing Directors.
It shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Board of Directors to prepare the slate of nominees for directors, arranged in alphabetical order according to their surnames. Ballots shall include a brief description of each candidate's business and other information that the nominating committee considers relevant.
At subsequent general elections, those at a general meeting who are nominated for election shall state their willingness to serve as directors if elected, along with a brief description to their business.
Upon receipt of this notice, members wishing to suggest someone for consideration by the Nominating Committee, may submit their suggestions via email: [email protected]
NAHCC member suggestions should be submitted as soon as possible to allow adequate time for consideration. All suggested nominees will be considered, but suggesting someone to the Nominating Committee does not guarantee that their name will be placed before the general membership for election to the Board.
