PROCESS FOR SELECTION
Each year, a certain number of board members are slated to be replaced as their three-year terms expire and they choose not to renew their commitment. Additionally, the board may choose to expand the board according to the by-laws of Links Players International. In replacing or adding board members, the following process is used:
- The board accepts recommendations for new board members from all board members and the executive director and considers the recommendations according to the criteria above.
- The board then invites the prospective members to attend a scheduled board meeting as an observer.
- After the completion of the physical board meeting, the prospective members are interviewed by phone by the Chairman of the Board to assess the prospective members' interest in joining the board.
- During the following scheduled telephonic board meeting, the board submits names for vote.
- When the board has voted to accept a nominee, that nominee is called by the Chairman of the Board and formally invited to join the board.
MANUAL
Prospective LPI board members receive a number of documents to help familiarize them with the organization, including the Vision-Mission-Strategy, Links Players Mission, Statement of Faith, and By-laws available at About Us.
