Chamber Seeks Interested Board Candidates
The Chamber Board is starting to plan for the organization’s leadership for 2017. The Nominating Committee is now accepting the names of any member who might have an interest in serving on the Board, with a term commencing in January 2017/ Consideration will be given to the length and depth of involvement with the Chamber, participation in civic activities, Northbrook residency and an interest in advocating for the business community.
Potential candidates must be able to make a three year commitment and are expected to actively support the Chamber goals and initiatives. The Board meets monthly to discuss policy and direction for the organization. Members may serve up to two 3 year terms.
The Committee will review the names of candidates submitted and select a slate to fill Board vacancies which will be announced in the November newsletter. Once the slate is determined, members can still add a name for consideration (including their own) by submitting a petition signed by 20 qualified members by Thursday, December 1. A final vote on all candidates will be taken by the Board at the December 8th meeting. Anyone with questions about the nomination process, or who wishes to submit a name for consideration should e-mail Chamber President Tensley Garris at tensley@northbrookchamber.org by Friday, Sept. 16th.&’ type=’text/javascript’>
