BICSI Brief Volume 2, Issue 2

LDC SPOTLIGHT By John H.

The LDC helps identify the leadership competencies and skills needed to achieve BICSI’s strategic goals and recommends strategies for identifying and developing BICSI’s future volunteer leaders.

annual Board and LDC self- evaluations to identify the competencies and skills gaps created by the outgoing Board and LDC members. The LDC then reviews and approves “position descriptions” for the open positions defining the desired competencies and skills needed for the incoming Board and LDC members. The LDC then issues a call for self-nominations for the open positions (15 April - 31 May).

The candidate in each position with the highest number of votes is elected. For the Board Director and LDC Member elections, the LDC’s activities may include identifying possible candidates, contacting potential candidates, recruiting these candidates, interviewing
