Committee Purpose

The primary charge of the Leadership and Elections Committee is to develop the Association’s future leadership, broadly speaking. This is operationally defined by several committee goals: (1) To identify strong leaders for the Board of Directors* through a democratic election process. (2) To inform the membership about the elected officers’ responsibilities, encourage nominations from the membership, and invite all qualified members to participate in voting.

Benchmark 2024-2025

To discuss the need to offer leadership development resources and/or seminars that encourage our members to run for office and address specific skills required as a leader. Activities regarding leadership development may include, but need not be limited to, lectures, seminars, workshops, retreats, and other modes of dissemination such as articles, the ABCT website, etc., in which issues of the Association’s operations and development are discussed. The committee will determine the best means to invite participants.

The committee is mindful of ABCT’s initiatives to address inclusion, diversity, equity, and access in our governance, and consults with the Membership Issues Coordinator, Membership Committee, and Student Membership Committee to discuss these initiatives.
