RE: 2020 Members Nominating Committee Report

The UCAR Members' Nominating Committee met in Boulder on July 8, 2020 to consider nominations for positions on the Board of Trustees and Member committees. The nominations from the Members' Representatives and other community members for Trustee and Member committee slates were collected and given to the Members Nominating Committee in advance of their meeting.  

The Nominating Committee considered all nominations and deliberated extensively to develop well-balanced groups of candidates for the Board of Trustees, the President’s Advisory Committee on University Relations (PACUR), and the Membership and Members Nominating Committees.   The Nominating Committee sought to retain important expertise and high-level experience while also promoting a Board and Committees that represent the diversity of disciplines, institutions, and identity characteristics of the overall UCAR Membership.
