Finding the Right People for Our Bus
The whole College owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to the Committee on Nominations and Appointments. This committee, chaired by the immediate-past president (Stan Cohen last year, David Borenstein this year), consistently makes difficult and important decisions with wisdom and foresight. The Committee on Nominations and Appointments makes nominations for most of the volunteer positions within the College, including Secretary, Treasurer, Members-at-Large of the ACR and REF board of directors, and committee chairs and members of standing committees. They do their best to meet the goal of representing all interests of the organization in leadership positions.
Their recommendations shape the future by assuring that the right people are around all of our tables, whether that table holds the BOD or any of our other ACR and REF committees.
