COMMUNITY CORNER
LDC SPOTLIGHT The BICSI Leadership Development Committee (LDC) consists of a Chair, two Board members appointed by the Board President, and four elected BICSI
to self-nominate for a Board Officer position. The LDC will present to the Board a contested slate of all Board Officer candidates for only the Board members to vote. The candidate in each position with the greatest 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 those candidates, interviewing candidates, informing candidates of the demands of Board or LDC service, and helping them complete the self-nomination process if needed. Every LDC member reviews and scores each self-nomination based on a rating scale approved by the LDC. Based on the results of the initial review, the LDC will select the top eight Board candidates and the top four LDC candidates who will advance to the interview stage. The LDC then interviews each candidate using a set of questions and scores the candidates. Once the interviews are completed, the LDC will select the top four Board candidates and top two LDC
candidates who best match the desired competencies and skills needed and then publish the uncontested slates to all members. BICSI members will have a 30-day petition period to consider the slates and submit a petition to add alternate candidates. If members do not submit any petitions, the slated candidates are considered accepted by the membership. If petitions are submitted to add an eligible alternate candidate, a new contested slate will be published, and members will have
members. Its main purpose is to facilitate the annual nominations process and present slates of candidates who are eligible for Board Officer, Board Director, and LDC elections each year. 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. Each year, the LDC reviews BICSI’s strategic plan and facilitates the 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. For the Board Officer elections, only current Board members, other than the Board President, Board President-Elect, and Immediate Past Board President, are eligible
30 days to cast votes. The four Board candidates and the two LDC candidates with the greatest number of votes are elected. The election cycle ends when BICSI publishes the official announcement of the newly elected Board Officers, Board Directors, and LDC Members after
all candidates have been notified of their individual results.
