COMMITTEE APPOINTMENT PROCESS FAQS

How are volunteers selected?
Appointments are made based primarily on the position's needs as well as the member's expertise, competencies and skills, performance, and prior involvement in the Society.

Do appointments include considerations for diversity and inclusion?
HRS strives to have organizational leaders who represent all aspects of diversity and promote the diversity, equity, and inclusion that are essential to our success. Wherever possible, appointments reflect a diverse mix of backgrounds, occupations, demographics (geography, ethnicity, and gender), and interpersonal communication and problem-solving styles.

Who makes the appointments?
The Board of Trustees grants the President-Elect authority to make committee appointments with consultation from the President, Chief Executive Officer, sitting and incoming Chairs, and Staff Liaisons.

What is the appointment process timeline?
The committee appointment process takes about six months, starting with a call for volunteers in the fall and ending with new appointments in May.

When does a term of service begin and end?
Most committee terms begin in May and last one year with reappointment eligibility for two additional consecutive one-year terms. Reappointments are reviewed annually and are not guaranteed.

How will I learn if I have been chosen for an appointment?
Once positions are assigned, in the spring, HRS will notify all applicants via email. Your interests will be retained for future openings regardless of your appointment status.

Are there other volunteer opportunities?
If you cannot commit to committee service but are interested in volunteering in other ways, update your profile to indicate your interests and experience to be considered for other opportunities throughout the year. From your HRS Profile [hrs2.informz.net], click 'Volunteer Interests' in the left-hand side navigation.
