If possible, election of At-Large Directors will take place during the Spring meeting of the Board of Directors, the same as other National Council elections. There is no requirement for all three At-Large Director positions to be filled at all times. At need, as determined by the Board of Directors, vacant At-Large Director seats may be filled at alternate times. A rolling elections process can take place to fill vacant At-Large Director seats. If elections do not take place at the regularly scheduled Board meeting, voting may be done by phone or electronic format (web, , fax) over a specified period of time (usually one month). Prior notice will be given to all Board members regarding an upcoming election. Terms of Service At-Large Directors serve for a specified term not to exceed three years; may serve consecutive terms, limited to six years total. Terms of service for At-Large Directors are to commence on July 1 of the year in which elections take place, similar to all other Directors (July 1 June 30). One year terms will be considered for initial service, elected as needed. At-Large Directors may serve for different term lengths, as determined by the needs of the National Council. At-Large Directors who are elected mid-term may be re-elected to serve two complete terms.

At-Large Directors are non-voting members of the National Council Board of Directors. 9 Policies & Procedures 10/19/2011

8 Setting Priorities for At-Large Director Positions The Executive Committee will provide a framework for the full Board to evaluate the needs/priorities of the National Council where At-Large Directors may be able to provide expertise. The Nominating Committee will be advisory to the Executive Committee in this process. Staff will provide background on needs/priorities. The full Board will then vote on the three top priorities/needs to provide direction to the Nominating Committee for candidates/nominees for At-Large Director seats. It is not necessary for all At-Large Director positions to be filled at all times. A call for candidates and elections should be held after a determination of need has been completed by the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee will then solicit candidates/nominees for the At-Large Directors to meet the needs of the National Council, as stated by the Board of Directors. Call for Nominations/Elections Process Once a need is expressed by the National Council Board of Directors, the Nominating Committee will set forth a process and timeline to recruit nominations to fill At-Large Director seat(s). The call for nominations will be an open process, advertised to collect a broad pool of candidates. All nominations will be submitted to the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee will collect and review all nominations for At-Large Directors and will make recommendations as to a final slate of candidates to the full Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee will talk to/meet with lead candidates before providing a final slate of candidates/recommendations to the full Board. The full Board of Directors will vote to fill any At-Large Director seat(s). At-Large Director Role & Function At-Large Directors are expected to help the National Council be more effective in a specific area. At-Large Director seats are a tool for the National Council to bring in a particular expertise/functioning. There is an expectation that the needs of the National Council to change over time, therefore the specific areas of expertise for At-Large Directors will change over time. At-Large Directors (non-voting) are to serve as advisors to the Board of Directors. At-Large Director Job Description Once priority areas are set by the Board of Directors for At-Large Director seats, the Nominating Committee will develop a Job Description for each At-Large Director seat that will provide further guidance as to the expertise/background for candidate recruitment. The Nominating Committee will determine the criteria against which nominees will be evaluated, based on areas of need, as determined by the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee will also determine what services/resources/opportunities that the National Council may be able to offer to At-Large Directors as part of their service to the Board (i.e. travel, speaking engagements, remunerations, conference presentations/workshops). 10 Policies & Procedures 10/19/2011
