About Board Candidates
Nominating committees are always in the search for board members with potential. They search online for people who are interested in the post, like LinkedIn and BoardnetUSA. They also reach out to their networks, which includes staff, donors and volunteers to find out if anyone is interested.
When searching for candidates the nominating committee has to consider what qualities they are looking for in a board member. They want someone competent in providing strategic leadership and has the right mix of experience and knowledge to help guide the organization.
One of the best ways to determine the most suitable candidate is by taking a look at their passion and dedication for your cause. If they are passionate about your cause, then they’ll make choices that align with that goal, and possess the determination to keep striving for more.
School board candidates are typically competing against other qualified candidates, especially in district elections. They must be able to distinguish themselves from their competitors whether that’s by using a catchy slogan, or presenting a plan of how they will enhance the school system in their district.
Boards also need to consider the individual traits of a candidate, which include confidence, self-assurance, high ethical standard, interpersonal skills and the ability to ask tough questions. It is also important that the candidate has enough time to fulfill the duties of a member of a board.
