Terms of Reference

The prime functions of the Nominating Committee are to (a) encourage and assist wide participation by IAUC members in the workings of the Association, and (b) further the recognition of deserving members for awards.    

In preparing its recommendations, the Nominating Committee shall take into consideration the scientific, regional, and gender makeup of the Society, and the need to maintain an appropriately diverse representation from the urban climate community.

Core Activities:

1. To ensure there is at least a minimum slate of nominees standing for election to the Board.

2.  To encourage the nomination of appropriate persons for the Association’s awards.

3. To advise the President and Board regarding appropriate persons to be invited to serve in non-elected positions of IAUC (e.g. Webmaster) and as members of non-elected Committees (e.g. Awards, Bibliography, Membership, Newsletter, Teaching Resources).

Mode of Operation:

The Committee will normally communicate by e-mail. The Committee shall maintain close liaison with the International Representation and Membership Committees.

Membership and Terms of Office:

There shall be at least five members of the committee, each appointed for a three-year term. Membership can be renewed. Participation on the Committee does not preclude a member’s nomination to elected or non-elected office or for an award.  

Appointment of the Committee

The Committee is appointed by the Board. Ordinarily, the Chair will be a current or past Board member.
