A Nominating Committee is one of the Boosters’ most important committees because it helps ensure the organization’s future strength and stability. Selecting board members and officers is critical to maintaining effective leadership and supporting the mission of the BASIS Richardson Boosters. The Nominating Committee must be thoughtful and selective as it evaluates and recommends qualified candidates. This committee nominates and presents a slate of officers at the May General Meeting for the upcoming school year.
