NRCSA Leadership Nomiinations
Nominations are now being accepted for three Executive Committee positions: President-elect, North Central District Representative, and Southwest District Representative.
The President-elect serves three years, beginning with the office of President-elect, then President, and serves as Past President the third year. The person elected for this position will begin his/her term on August 1, 2012. This is a statewide position and all NRCSA member school districts are eligible to vote on this position. A President-Elect is elected each year.
The persons elected to the District Representative positions will serve a three-year term. Dan Bird, in the North Central District, is completing his first term as North Central District Representative and is eligible to run for a second term. Matt Fisher, in the Southwest District, is completing his second term and is not eligible for re-election. District representatives must be employed by a NRCSA member school within the NRCSA district they are being nominated to represent, when nominated and during their term of office.
To be nominated for any elected (Executive Committee) or appointed (Legislative Committee and Business Committee) NRCSA position, one must be currently, and during the term of service, employed as a superintendent of a NRCSA member school district.
Superintendents may self-nominate or have someone nominate them. If you nominate someone else, whether by mail or from the floor, be sure to have their permission and their commitment to serve. You may nominate by mail to Dr. Jon Habben, and that nomination will be brought to the floor, or nominations may be made from the floor at the NRCSA Spring Conference General Membership Meeting. Ballots will be mailed within two weeks of the end of the Spring Conference to each voting school district. One vote per school district per office.
