STATEMENT OF QUESTION:     Should the Nomination Due Date be eliminated?

SOURCE AND DATE SUBMITTED:       Strategic Planning Committee – March 9, 2018

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

This agenda item will change the Policy Manual and it will update the constitutional language to be consistent with the practice of the Executive Board.

Over the past several years, the Executive Board has made nominations after the November 1 due date, all the way up to the day prior to the Board of Directors Meeting.

The timing of approving this award has been correlated to the events in the lives of the recipients, e.g., imminent retirement, rather than any event on the calendar of the Union.
