Nominating Committee (NomCom)
The Committee's Purpose...
The Nominating Committee has one of the most important roles in the Association with the smallest time commitment. With their work primarily done in the fourth quarter of each year, this Committee establishes the guidelines for serving as a candidate for the Board of Directors or an Officer thereon. They, then, review the credentials and Membership of each nominated candidate to determine if the guidelines are met making the candidate eligible for election.
The Nominating Committee consists of the Immediate Past Board Chairman as Committee Chair, a representative from every standing Council, usually the Chair of that Council, and EVP / CEO.
One condition of serving on this Committee is that no Committee Member serving is eligible to run for FPA office.
Every Member of this
Committee is an
Ex-Officio Member
(they are on this
Committee because
of another FPA
position they hold)
Nominating Committee Chair
Kevin Duane, PharmD
The Committee Chair is responsible for the overall leadership and management of the Committee. Though a Committee Chair may appoint Committee Members to oversee particular tasks or certain events; all tasks, events, and responsibilities of the Committee ultimately are the responsibility of the Committee Chair.
Committee Chairs also prepare all meeting agendas, run all meetings, manage the annual Committee budget, and ensure that all Committee responsibilities are being addressed and fulfilled.
The position of Committee Chair is considered a high honor in the FPA and is thus considered an FPA Leader.
Committee Vice Chairs perform the role of Secretary (take minutes of the meetings) and assist the Chair or run the meeting in the Chair's absence. The Vice Chair is heir-apparent to the Council or Committee; meaning, if they do a good job and work hard, they will likely be the Chair of that Council or Committee the following Association year, as appointed by the then President-Elect.
