The 2022 ARLIS/NA New York Executive Board is charging a Nominating Assessment Committee to examine the chapter’s current nominating processes. This committee will consist of at least three but no more than four non-Executive Board chapter members, plus the Secretary who will serve as a liaison between the Committee and the Executive Board. The Secretary will serve in an administrative capacity only, providing access to Board documents as necessary and passing along questions to the Board. 

This group will examine our existing processes with particular attention to diversity, equity, and inclusion with the aim of mitigating personal bias in the selection process and promoting transparency. This committee will create a report with findings and recommendations for review by the Executive Board of 2022 with implementation for future Nominating Committees. 

The group will start its work as soon as possible and is expected to finish by the end of May 2022, although the timeline is flexible.
