Leadership Development Committee
Purpose
The Leadership Development Committee (LDC) is responsible for identifying, recruiting and nominating a contested slate of candidates for APS President-elect, Treasurer and at-large Board Directors. Final selection of leaders is made through an election by APS membership. LDC accomplishes these tasks by:
- Soliciting candidate recommendations from the APS Advisory Council and APS members and leaders.
- 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 APS president serves as the chair of LDC for one year. The Board Directors who are serving their third year of their term also serve on the committee for one year. Five non-Board members selected by the Advisory Council serve a two-year nonrenewable term. The APS CEO serves as an ex officio member without a vote.
