Leadership Development Committee
Purpose: The Leadership Development Committee (LDC) constructs a contested slate for president-elect, treasurer and at-large directors. The Committee also identifies and recruits candidates with the aid of the Advisory Council (AC) and membership-at-large.
The Leadership Development Committee will accomplish these tasks by:
- Conducting interviews and clarifying competencies and multirepresentational balance elements with the APS Board of Directors.
- Developing a rubric for the evaluation of candidates for consistent and uniform evaluation.
- Conducting a fair, transparent and consistently applied process for candidate evaluation.
Composition: The immediate past president chairs the LDC as a nonvoting member for one year. Three members of the APS Board of Directors who are serving the third year of their term also serve on the LDC for one year. Five nonBoard members selected by the AC serve a two-year nonrenewable term. The APS CEO serves as ex officio without vote.
