The first step in our elections process is for the Board to solicit and approve a nominations committee of 5 - 7 active chapter members. This committee will help ensure prospective board applicants understand the board roles, requirements, and have the experience to lead the chapter successfully. By separating this function from the Board we are able to ensure a transparent and unbiased review. Typically once the committee is created there will be a kick off meeting to define objectives and ways of working for their contribution to the elections process. This includes familiarizing them with the timeline of the election cycle, the scoring rubric, and qualification criteria among other relevant information.

After the applications period closes, the nominations committee will review the applications and begin scheduling interviews with the prospective members. This period typically takes 30 - 60 days. Each applicant will be notified of the nominations committee decision and have one week to appeal should they feel so inclined. At the end of this period, the nominations committee will provide the approved applicants to the Board for election preparations to be made.

The Board will work with PMI to send out a virtual ballot to all active members in good standing that includes information on each candidate and the option to vote for who they feel will best lead the chapter. This is sent directly to your PMI.org primary registered email and you must login to cast your vote. One week after the ballots are dispersed, the Board will collect the results and certify the winners of the election. These results will be promptly communicated the membership. These Board Vice President elects will then be invited to join board sessions for a transitional period until their 2 year terms officially begin.
