Advisory Committee Application

Upon receiving a completed application, the Advisory Committee conducts an interview with the applicant during a committee meeting, followed by a vote on whether to forward a recommendation of their appointment to the Board of Directors.

The responsibility to make the final decision on the appointment rests with the Board of Directors. They may choose to interview the candidate before casting their vote, though this is not a mandatory step in the selection process.

The Advisory Committee gathers for monthly meetings, typically at noon on the last Tuesday of each month, with exceptions usually made for August and December when meetings are generally not held.

We welcome all applications, valuing diversity in backgrounds and experiences.
