Nominations open for president-elect, vice president 

Nominations for CSBA’s 2013 president-elect and vice president are being accepted through June 4.

Candidates must possess strong leadership and problem-solving skills. They must have the commitment to lead a statewide education association and understand the vision and mission of CSBA.

They also must:

  • Serve on a CSBA-member school district or county
  • Receive a minimum of three nominations

Nominations may be made by either the governing board of a CSBA-member school district or county office of education or by an individual member of a CSBA-member board.

This is a very important leadership opportunity, according to Janice Friesen, chair of the 2012 CSBA Nominating Committee, who’s a member of the Castro Valley Unified School District governing board and a CSBA delegate from Region 7.

“If you have the time and desire to move beyond your school board role to a leadership position in the association that represents all school board members in the vital work that we do, consider reviewing carefully the information on the CSBA website regarding the nomination process, purpose of the association and requisites for  the officers. If it’s a fit, for you or a colleague, please consider submitting a nomination.”

Officer nomination forms can be found on CSBA’s website. They can be submitted online or printed out and faxed or mailed to CSBA’s headquarters, but they must be received by 5 p.m. on June 4.

In a separate process, also detailed on CSBA’s website, those candidates that have received three nomination forms will have until July 11 to submit formal declarations of candidacy. The Delegate Assembly will elect the officers at its Nov. 29 meeting in San Francisco. The successful candidates will take office immediately following CSBA’s Nov. 29- Dec. 1 Annual Education Conference and Trade Show in San Francisco and serve for the following year.
