Assistance League of San Antonio is fortunate to have an active and growing membership from which to select its Board of Directors. Your voice is very important to the committee, for the committee represents you, the membership. Your input and recommendations of fellow members are the starting points for the committee’s consideration. The Nominating Committee meets to prepare a slate of candidates to present to the membership. Your assistance in this process, by recommending members to be considered for next year’s Board of Directors, is vital to our future.

The elected offices to be filled are listed on the attached form with a brief description of duties.  Refer to Bylaws ARTICLE 6 (page 123 of your directory) and ARTICLE 8(page 129 of your directory) for complete job descriptions. Bylaws ARTICLE 4.05 states “Members of the Board shall hold office for a term of one (1) year or until their successors are elected and assume office. They shall assume office at the close of the annual meeting in May. No member shall be eligible to serve more than two (2) consecutive terms in the same office. A third year of service can be recommended by the Nominating Committee.“  The Bylaws do not exclude past presidents from being recommended. Self-recommendation is invited should a member wish to do so.

Once you have selected a candidate to recommend, please confirm with them as to their interest and willingness to serve. Please use the space provided on the attached form to record the member you are recommending, then attach a separate sheet describing the nominee’s qualifications for the position.  Include information such as committee the recommended member has chaired or served on, programs in which she/he has worked, knowledge and experience the recommended member has of Assistance League and other organizations, associations, and businesses. You may also complete the Recommendation Form online where you add the information in each field rather than attach a second sheet. If you choose to submit a second sheet, instructions to do so are below.

Submit your recommendations in the below in the blank space.

Recommendations must be received no later than February 18th, 2025. You may submit your recommendations by:

  • Completing the application form on the website (log in not required.)
