Call for Director Candidates
The NADL, NBC, and Foundation are seeking individuals to fill open seats on the 2017 NADL Board of Directors, 2017 NBC Board of Trustees, and 2017 FDLT Board of Trustees. New board members will be elected, or appointed, in the fall of 2016 and will take office on January 1, 2017.
The boards guide the organization through proven leadership, a shared vision and support for the missions of the association. If you enjoy collaborating with other professionals and have a desire to give back to your profession, we want you!
Qualities of an Effective Board Member
- Serving as an association leader is both an honor and a reward. It requires a proven commitment to the organization and its missions and goals.
- Participating fully in association activities requires extra time and expense for attending meetings.
- Well-developed interpersonal skills and ability to communicate are essential to effective teamwork.
- An effective board member brings their expertise and experience to provide value, but such experience and expertise should not drive the policy-making process.
- Intuitive and interpretive skills enable leaders to understand the people around them, internalize the data they receive, recognize the relationships that exist between systems within their world, and integrate all these elements into a coherent whole.
- Focusing on policy-making, not the day-to-day operations of the organization is what makes an effective board.
Candidates interested in serving will be required to read and sign a board application, prior to the posted deadline, in order to be considered for board service. A short candidate biography and digital headshot should be submitted with the completed form. All applications must be submitted by email to [email protected] by 12:00 pm EST on Friday, July 22, 2016. No late submissions will be considered.
Contact Deborah at [email protected], or by phone at (800) 950-1150 with any questions.
