Nomination Process

How do we nominate someone?

The nomination procedures (from the NASCO By-Laws):

6.2 Nomination to the Board may be made in any one of three ways:

  1. A petition signed by five (5) Individual Members, provided that no individual signs more than one (1) petition in each election.
  2. Nomination by an Active Member, provided that no Active Member may nominate more than one (1) person by this method.
  3. Nomination by two (2) Associate Members, provided that no Associate Member may participate in more than (1) such joint nomination each election.

Once someone is nominated, they must submit a candidate statement of their background and interests so that members may cast educated votes.

NASCO does not discriminate on any basis including sexual orientation, race, creed, color, spirituality, gender identification, sex, national origin, disability, veteran status, or familial status.

Women, transfolk, and people of color are encouraged to apply.
