10 - 8 that the Board of Directors approve the following changes to the Nominating
Committee MOP:
Nominating Committee MOP Section 9G:
9.G. [The DALs have the responsibility of representing and guiding the
technological interests of the Society. Hence, the nominees for these positions should be
members who have demonstrated by their activities marked ability in design, engineering,
research, education, or management in these technical areas. Consideration should be given
to service on technical committees of the Society and authorship of technical papers.]
[Since the DALs also serve as BOD ex-officio members of all standing
general committees, service on such committees should be one of the factors considered in
evaluating the qualifications of the potential nominees.]
The DALs have the responsibility of representing and managing the
technological interest of the Society as well as representing those Society members who do
not participate in chapter and regional activities. They assist in guidance and management
of the councils other than Regions Council as well as assisting and guiding the standing
committees. A well-rounded DAL candidate should have served on a variety of councils
and/or committees and should have chaired at least one of these. The DAL needs a strong
working knowledge of the structure and function of ASHRAE at the Society level. Much of
the Society committee work is technological in nature, so prior service on technical
committees and/or standard project committees is highly desirable. While service such as a
chapter officer, regional vice chairman or director and regional chairman (DRC) is a plus,
a good technological background and service related to research, standards, publishing,
technology transfer, etc. should be weighed much more heavily than region/chapter service
in selecting a DAL.
Nominees for DAL shall have been Members for at least five (5) years before the
date of election (ROB 2, Election and Appointment Procedures). It is also desirable to
maintain a balance between occupations, such as educators, researchers, manufacturers,
consulting engineers, mechanical contractors, etc. Finally, in selecting DALs, particular
attention should be paid to their qualifications as future officer material.
