The Nominating and Elections Committee (NEC) oversees FAUW elections and works to find the best-suited people to represent FAUW members on the Board and on University committees.
NEC oversees elections for the FAUW President and Board of Directors, according to the ¹ó´¡±«°ÂÌý³¦´Ç²Ô²õ³Ù¾±³Ù³Ü³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô and established election procedures. It also helps to recruitÌýFAUW members for the Board, FAUW committees, University committees, and other roles within FAUW.

How it works
When a vacancy is identified for a FAUW representative on a University committee, the FAUW Board, a FAUW committee, or other roles, such as General Meeting chair, theÌýNEC will notify the membership of the vacancy, explain responsibilities and commitment of the role, and collectÌýexpressions of interest from voting members. The NEC may also solicit suggestions ofÌýcandidates from the FAUW Board and Council of Representatives, and may reach out to those people and encourage them to put their name forward for consideration.
The NEC then reviews allÌýexpressions of interest andÌýprovides the FAUW Board or president* withÌýa provisional ranking of top candidates (along with a written rationale) to help them make their selection for appointment. The Board or president makes the final decision and appointment, depending on the position. All applications are confidential among the committee and the Board or president.
*Some FAUW representatives are appointed by the FAUW president according to the Memorandum of Agreement, policy, or committee terms of reference. In other cases, the decision is made by the Board. See the Nominating and Elections Committee Terms of ReferenceÌý[PDF] for details.
