Call for nominations for Delegate Assembly 

Thursday, Jan. 7, is the deadline to submit nominations and biographical sketch forms for prospective members and incumbent members of CSBA’s Delegate Assembly. A list of delegates in each CSBA region whose terms are expiring is on CSBA’s Web site under the “About CSBA” tab.

Local boards in CSBA’s 21 regions will participate in the Delegate Assembly elections between Feb. 1 and March 15. Those elected will serve two-year terms beginning April 1 and ending March 31, 2012. There are two Delegate Assembly meetings each year, one in May prior to CSBA’s Legislative Action Conference in Sacramento and one preceding CSBA’s Annual Education Conference and
Trade Show in late November
or early December in San Diego or San Francisco.

Delegates set the general policy direction and fulfill a critical governance role within the association through the adoption of the Policy Platform and other policy statements as needed. They act as liaisons between CSBA and local board members in their regions.

Any CSBA member board is eligible to nominate board members within its geographical region or subregion. Each board may nominate as many individuals as it chooses. The process begins with submission of either the official nomination form, which is available on CSBA’s Web site, or a letter of nomination.

All nominees must submit a biographical sketch along with their nomination form; an optional one-page, one-sided résumé may also be submitted but cannot be substituted for the sketch. All nomination materials must be postmarked no later than Thursday, Jan. 7. Faxes are also acceptable, but they must be received by Jan. 7; mailed copies are preferable to faxes.

In an effort to cut costs, nomination and biographical sketch forms will not be mass-mailed to members.
