Board Nominations and Elections The Board reviewed and approved the process for the board nominations, nominating committee, and elections including timeline. Dr. Lazarus will head up the Nominating Committee as president-elect, per bylaws, and Dr. Hallberg volunteered to assist him. OMA staff will reach out to last year’s Nominating Committee members to see if they are interested in serving in this role again, as per bylaws they are eligible to serve. There was discussion around potentially amending bylaws to change the position of vice president to replace the president-elect as chair of the Nominating Committee in the event the president- elect is not able to serve in this capacity. The vice president is often interested in being considered to run for president-elect making s/he ineligible to serve as chair of the Nominating Committee. The Board confirmed the following positions are open for the ballot this year: president-elect, vice president, secretary/treasurer, nurse practitioner/physician assistant representative, and three other trustee positions. The Ethics Committee also has one position open for this upcoming election and the Board will need to appoint the chair of this committee. Motion: To accept election timeline and open positions.
