AEA Committees

This standing committee shall assess the board’s profile and skill set; shall develop and maintain a pool of candidates with desired skills that could be nominated to serve on the board; and, as necessary, shall recommend a slate of candidates to the board whenever vacancies or impending vacancies require an election to select directors.
