There’s still time to submit nominations for national leadership roles.

 

NKBA is accepting  nominations for national leadership positions on a number of committees and the board of directors through Aug. 31.

If you possess the desire to engage with industry peers on a high level, participate in making decisions that will help steer the association and elevate your standing in the K&B community, this is the time to get involved. These roles, along with chapter leadership, guide the association as well as the industry at large by defining strategies, programs and services affecting and benefiting our members. This is a self-nominating process.

For more information and to apply, just click here and select the committee you feel best suits your skill set. The following posts are open:

  • Board of Directors: up to 3 positions available. The Board has general supervision, control and direction of the affairs of the Association and its committees and publications. It determines NKBA policies and/or makes appropriate changes therein, and actively pursues the organization’s objectives. The Board also oversees the financial stability of the Association.
  • Leadership Recruitment Committee: 2 positions available. The “human resources” component of national governance, the Leadership Recruitment Committee identifies and screens potential Board and Chapter Leadership Committee members, and presents a slate of candidates for open positions to each group.
  • Chapter Leadership Committee: 2 positions available.

A communications-oriented entity, the purpose of the Chapter Leadership Committee is to provide a link between the grassroots of the Association, its chapters, the national Board of Directors and National Staff. This committee monitors member needs at the chapter level and conveys these needs to the Board and National staff. To serve on this committee, the association requires that volunteers are presently chapter officers, and they must continue in their capacity as an officer through the term of committee service.

  • KBIS Exhibitor Committee: up to 4 positions available.

The KBIS Exhibitor Committee provides a link between the exhibitors and attendees of KBIS and the Board of Directors to ensure that their needs are being appropriately monitored, evaluated and met. The KBIS Exhibitor Committee advises the Board on industry trends and makes recommendations for appropriate products, programs and services. This committee has great influence on the industry’s most comprehensive trade show.

NKBA urges members to consider nomination for these important positions — it’s a great way to gain industry prestige and recognition, build awareness of your brand, your business and yourself, share skills, knowledge and expertise, and help make NKBA — and our industry — stronger.
