Scout Executive Ed Martin will serve as staff advisor to the Nominating Committee and provide resources to support the Committee’s deliberations. The first such resource is entitled “The 10 Basic Responsibilities of Executive Board members” and is attached to this email.

The Nominating Committee is seeking recommendations for Executive Board members from our Scouting constituents. Please reference “The 10 Basic Responsibilities of Executive Board members” when considering potential candidates to recommend for Executive Board membership.  To recommend a person for consideration to serve on the 2020 Executive Board, email the person’s name, complete contact information, and a one-page summary of qualifications to Scout Executive Ed Martin at ed.martin@scouting.org All candidates will be shared with the Nominating Committee for review.

To protect the annual Nominating Committee process and avoid potential embarrassment for any nominee, please do not approach nominees regarding service on the Council Executive Board until after all are reviewed by the Nominating Committee. Selected nominees will be contacted individually and asked to serve a one-year term on the Council Executive Board in 2020.

All nominations must be received by Ed Martin no later than 5:00pm EST on Monday, December 2, 2019.
