Affiliate Representative Nominations Due Dec. 10
Applications are being accepted for affiliate member representatives to serve on the NAHB Board of Directors during the 2010 year. Applications should be submitted by the affiliate member’s home builders association to the member’s National Area Chairman by Dec. 10.
One affiliate member will be nominated from each of the 15 areas and then, from those 15 candidates, one will be elected during the NAHB board meeting at the 2010 International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible, affiliate member applicants must meet the following criteria:
- The affiliate member must remain in good standing throughout the year
The affiliate membership must remain active throughout the year. If the builder or associate member linked to the affiliate membership cancels his membership, the affiliate’s membership also is considered cancelled and the affiliate member is no longer in good standing.
- Demonstrate involvement at the local, state and/or national level
- Have been an affiliate member for at least three years
Nomination Process
To nominate affiliate members:
- HBAs should forward the applications of interested affiliate members to their respective National Area Chairmen or National Associate Chairman and NAHB staff members.
- The Area National Associate Chairman will work with their state representatives to identify one nominee per area.
- Those 15 nominees will then be forwarded to the NAHB Membership Committee to select one candidate based on the eligibility criteria.
- The names of the affiliate member selected by the NAHB Membership Committee will then be submitted to the NAHB Board of Directors for election.
If the affiliate member representative position is vacated mid-term, the NAHB Membership Committee will review the original pool of candidates for continued eligibility and recommend a new affiliate director to the NAHB Board of Directors for approval.
As part of its review, the membership committee may exclude from final consideration an eligible applicant who has previously served two consecutive years as the affiliate member representative to the board.
