Nominating Committee
Serving on a nominating committee is an honor and a privilege. The nominating committee is the PTA’s most responsible and sensitive deliberative body. The decisions of the nominating committee will impact on the future of the PTA. It is the only committee which must be elected in accordance with the bylaws. While a unit or council may choose to appoint or elect other committees, this committee’s selection must be by election. No member of the committee may be appointed by any person or group. The time for election of the nominating committee is usually set at least 30 to 90 days before the election month depending upon the individual bylaws. However, the election of the committee should take place as early as possible in order to give those elected the maximum amount of time to do a good job. The charge to the nominating committee “to find the best possible nominees for office for the organization” is a serious one.
