Our bylaws state the a Nominating Committee shall present the slate for the position of Board of Directors:
1. A Nominating Committee of four members of the Conference, who are not employees of the Conference, shall be selected as follows: two members shall be elected by the Conference in session and the Board of Directors shall name two members. This committee shall serve from the conclusion of the session in which it is selected until it makes its report to the next biennial convention.
2. The nominations offered by the Nominating Committee shall comprise the slate of nominees for membership on the Board.
Does the current board of directors have the right to attempt to influence or suggest who the Nominating Committee include in their slate of nominees?
Also, can the current board of directors question the Nominating Committee as to reasons why they did not include a person in their slate of nominees?
