Board of Directors

The Governance Committee is charged with:

• Identifying current board needs related to KAEE board membership and board development.

• Selecting a slate of candidates to fill board officer and board member vacancies.

• Ensuring the current board receives any professional development it needs to fulfill its legal and fiduciary responsibilities.

The Governance Committee is made up of a five-member appointed committee that includes the past chair, two board members, and two KAEE members-at-large. The two KAEE members-at-large will serve a one-year appointment. In order to qualify for this position, you must be a current KAEE member in good standing. During the spring and early summer, you must be able to participate in several conference calls and review documents before the calls. Previous knowledge of KAEE’s mission, vision, and long-range plan is preferred.

​

​​All board nominations, including both Board officers and Board members, will be submitted to the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee will use a matrix to determine gaps in the current board composition related to gender, geographic location, race, age, skills, and the vocations of current members. From that analysis, the Governance Committee will submit a non-competitive slate of candidates for each elective board position and office to be filled. The slate of candidates will be presented to the membership for final approval.
