Chapter Committee on Nominations and Leadership Identification (CCNLI)

Members of CCNLI have the important responsibility of identifying leaders within our Association for candidates for Chapter office. These candidates should be selected to reflect the diversity of the NASW-Idaho membership especially with regard to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and geographic locale of residence. Efforts should include outreach to the larger membership, including the current officers and Board members of NASW-Idaho, to identify persons interested in and qualified for leadership positions. Members of CCNLI also must ensure that Chapter elections adhere to the policies and procedures set forth by the national organization. This includes ensuring that all activities are conducted in a fair and consistent manner and those interested in running for chapter office are treated with dignity and respect.
