Nominating Committee National Leader |
|
Serving as the Chair of the Member Service Advisory Committee required understanding of how the Board structure drives member experiences as well as our outward facing role as a society. I delivered the educational module to the HOD and membership from the work of our committee about extending non-RD affiliate membership opportunities to adjacent and complimentary professionals, a recommendation that ultimately passed. Specific guidelines were developed to afford membership opportunities, but also distinguish member benefits across membership types. |
