Nominating Committee
Nominating Committee establishes criteria, selects slate Officers to be elected in March 1977 at the 24th annual Congress in Anaheim, Calif, are president-elect, treasurer, two members of the Board of Directors, and two members of the Nominating Committee. A slate of candidates was drawn up by the Nominating Committee at its August midyear meeting at Headquarters. The selection was made from names submitted by chapters and a point system devised by the committee. Letters including willingness-to-serve forms were sent to chapter presidents in April asking for nominees for national office. Follow-up letters were sent in May. The deadline for return of the forms was June 30. Of a total of 243 chapters, 142 sent responses. Sixty-seven chapters submitted names and 75 had no endorsees. Of the 56 endorsed nominees, 4 withdrew for personal reasons and 7 did not return their biographical data forms. Aware of the voiced concern of the membership regarding criteria in national candidate selection, the Committee compiled guidelines in considering candidates. It initiated a point system as follows. Education diploma, associate - 2 bachelor degree or above - 3
