Call for AW Board Nominations
Interested in serving on the board of American Whitewater? Please read the call for nominations
below:
Date: Spring 2010
From: Norwood Scott, Vice President
To: All interested and qualified AW members
Dear AW Member,
American Whitewater is seeking nominations of interested and qualified candidates to serve as a
Director
beginning next January 1, 2011. We have two open board seats to fill during this nomination
cycle.
A healthy, vibrant, participatory and functional board of Directors is critical to the long term
stability and effective governance of American Whitewater. This requires Directors with a passion
for our mission and a mix of appropriate skills to help guide AW and meet the challenges we face,
both now and in the future.
While we will consider all qualified candidates, the AW Board has specifically identified the
following preferred qualifications and attributes for this nomination cycle:
- Candidates who reside in Colorado or California and are well connected with the paddling community in those regions.
- Financial analysis skills and expertise including the ability to review and understand financial statements and effectively communicate financial information to peers on the Board. This includes a willingness to consider serving as AW’s Treasurer in the future.
Due to the limited number of Board seats available, not all nominees will appear on the recommend
slate of Candidates presented to the membership for vote this fall. If you are selected as a
final candidate, the committee will notify you prior to the election.
Please carefully review the Board of Directors Recruitment
Information Package. This package explains the role and responsibility of a Director, the
required qualifications, the necessary commitment and the process by which Director’s are
nominated and elected to serve.
If you are interested in serving as an AW Director please complete the
Board Nomination Form and Questionnaire. The completed Nomination Form and Questionnaire, 2
letters of recommendation and a quality digital photo are due to the nominating committee by July
1. Please email the required information to
mark@americanwhitewater.org with a subject heading of "BOD Response."
If you have any questions or wish to discuss any aspect of the nomination process please contact
Mark Singleton, AW’s Executive Director.
Thank you
Norwood Scott
Vice President
American Whitewater
