Duties are to select candidates for officer and councillor positions. The Nominating Committee is composed of the Past President (Chairman) and two members of the Society appointed by the President, of whom at least one is not a member of the Executive Council. The committee is mandated by the constitution to call for nomination of candidates from the membership not less than four (4) months prior to the annual general meeting of the society and to propose two or three candidates for each of the positions of President-Elect and Secretary. The Treasurer may be proposed for a second three year term unopposed if he or she is willing, otherwise two or three candidates will be proposed for the position of Treasurer. The candidates for President-Elect must have served previously as an Officer or Councillor for at least two years or as the chairman of the Organizing Committee of an annual meeting. All nominees must confirm their willingness to stand for office. Each candidate must be nominated and seconded by two paid-up members of the Society, be members of the Society and provide written confirmation of his or her willingness to stand for election. Each candidate must provide a short resume of his or her qualifications and experience, and this summary will be included in the ballot.
