To ensure an orderly transition in leadership, the Board approved a Transition Plan that calls for the next general election to feature candidates for President-elect position and candidates for a Vice-President position—each will serve a three-year term of office beginning July 1, 2015. Candidates for President-elect and Vice President will adhere to the election procedures set forth in Policy 300.1 Election Procedures for Vice President.
In order to be considered by the Nominating Committee when it meets in November, a prospective candidate must submit the electronic Prospective Candidate Data Form to NAESP as early as possible, but not later than October 1, 2014. The Prospective Candidate Data Form must be completed by the candidate and can be obtained by contacting Jennifer Shannon, NAESP Governance Services Manager, at jshannon@naesp.org or 703-684-3345. Candidates may solicit letters of endorsement and support from anyone, but the letters must be collected by the candidate and included with the Prospective Candidate Data Form—not mailed to NAESP headquarters.
Prospecive candidates should review the attached policies and guidelines below about the nomination and selection process.
