3. Nominating Committee Volunteers Needed

TEA elections for the Board of Officers are held each year at the Annual Meeting in September.  The Bylaws call for the Board to form a Nominating Committee of at least 3 members whose role is to help identify potential candidates for Board positions.  The TEA president chairs the Nominating Committee.

If you would like to serve on this year's Nominating Committee or know someone who you think should be on the Committee, please contact any Board member.  Remember, the best way to keep from becoming a Candidate is to be on the Nominating Committee!
