Nominations and Elections Committee Competencies
Application Enhancements:
The ENA Nominations and Elections Committee is committed to the ongoing assessment of ENA’s election processes to ensure the association has the best processes in place to identify and develop future leaders to help lead ENA into the future. In alignment with this commitment and best practices, the committee has made the following enhancements to the application and selection processes for the 2022 election cycle:
- The application will require candidates to submit two letters of recommendation: one from an ENA member and one from a professional reference.
- Board officers must submit one letter from a professional reference and a second from a sitting ENA Board member with at least one year of shared service.
- The committee has implemented a scoring rubric for evaluating candidates for placement on the ballot. Candidate vetting will be done based on application materials, competencies, and a formal interview process. Based on the results of this vetting, not all applicants will move forward to the ballot.
- The committee will formally vet and rank the candidates based on the scoring rubric and present a final slate of candidates to the ENA Board of Directors and membership. This slate will be presented based on the ranking instead of randomized selection.
