Nominating Committee

NCTR is a national association comprised of state, local, and territorial public retirement systems. Member systems are extremely diverse in size and types of members served. Memberships range from fewer than 5,000 to more than 1.5 million. Assets range from less and $.5 billion to more than $200 billion. Some systems serve exclusively teachers; others serve all public employees in the state.

It is the desire of the association that members of its Executive Committee (EC), which is the governing body of the organization, reflect the diversity of the member systems, i.e., that all regions of the country and the various sizes and types of systems are represented.

Nominations and Election of Officers

Article III of the NCTR Constitution (Revised September 1992) provides for the officers and Executive Committee of the organization. The EC shall have ten members – three of whom will be the President, President-Elect, and the Immediate Past-President. Of the seven remaining members, one shall be elected Secretary-Treasurer by the Executive Committee. EC members shall be executive officers, staff members, or board members of active system members.

The Nominating Committee shall propose to the Council delegates at the annual meeting a nominee for President-Elect and a slate of nominees to succeed the EC members whose terms are expiring. Delegates may nominate additional candidates from the floor during the annual business meeting. The President-Elect automatically becomes President in the following year.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee is a standing committee provided for in Article IV of the NCTR Constitution. The Constitution also stipulates that the President shall select members of standing committees with the concurrence of the EC.

Policies relating to the Nominating Committee

1. The Chair of the Nominating Committee shall be the Immediate Past-President. The Nominating Committee is to have no fewer than 5 members.

2. The chief administrative officer of each active member system is to be notified 90 days in advance of the Annual Convention, either by direct mail, email, or in an issue of the NCTR Newsletter, of the election process and that the names of the nominees are being sought for the vacant positions.

3. Names may be submitted to the Nominating Committee by the individual interested in serving, a system director, by a trustee, or by a Nominating Committee member. Names must be submitted to the NCTR office ten days prior to the opening of the annual convention. A written statement describing contributions to the profession and NCTR is required before a nominee will be considered by the Nominating Committee.

4. The Nominating Committee shall hold meetings for the purpose of receiving and considering candidates for the vacant positions.

5. No member of the Nominating Committee shall be eligible for nomination.

6. No member of the EC may serve more than two consecutive two (2) year terms. No member of the EC may serve more than one four (4) year term.
