National Convention What happens after recommendations are made? • The Nominating Committee, which is made up of the chair, two collegians and two alumnae, reviews all recommen-dations received by February 15, 2011, and obtains resumes. • The committee prepares a slate of candidates who they believe are best qualified to fulfill the responsibilities and meet the challenges of the various offices. • By late April, the slate and candidates’ resumes are sent to those eligible to vote at the 2011 National Convention. Can nominations be made after the slate has been sent? A Sister who hasn’t been slated and wants to be considered for a National Council office can submit her name in writing, with a resume, to the Nominating Committee within 21 days of the mailing of the slate. The Nominating Committee will verify the eligibility of each nominee and distribute the resume(s) to those eligible to vote at Convention. There will be no nominations from the f loor. • A commitment to Alpha Xi Delta’s vision and mission. Foundation bylaws state that four Trustees shall be elected by a majority vote of the delegates at National Convention from a single slate prepared by the Foundation Nominating Committee. The four elected Trustees will serve for four years, maintaining a board of eight elected Trustees at all times. Trustees completing the 2007-11 term are Michelle Soderquist Hartnett, Julie Lambert, Jean Koza Leider and Jane Fursey Ralston. Since Trustees can only serve two consecutive four-year terms, Foundation Chair Julie Lambert is ineligible for reelection. What are the Trustees’ responsibilities? Trustees are expected to be pace-setting contributors or fundraisers and to join The Society of 1893 (planned giving soci-ety) during their tenure. They also do the following: • Manage resources wisely • Ensure adequate resources • Monitor programs and services for consistency with our vision and goals • Enhance Alpha Xi Delta’s public image • Establish prudent investment philosophies, policies and practices • Approve and monitor the budget • Identify, cultivate and steward donors Foundation Trustees The Foundation Nominating Committee asks for your recom-mendations for Trustees to serve for the 2011-15 term. The Foundation is looking for Sisters with these qualifications: • Experience in board service, community leadership, public relations, finance or fundraising. • The ability to open doors to and inf luence donors. 33 The Quill of Alpha Xi Delta Fall | Winter 2010
