for board diversity and specific skill set needs. The
Nominating Committee makes its recommendation
to the membership after interviewing and evaluating
prospective candidates.
Any KICA member may run for board service by
submitting an application, which includes pertinent
information and a statement of focus. These statements
will be published along with other election materials.
