What procedure does the board follow for electing its leaders?

The board follows the procedure of electing its leaders from among its own members. This approach strengthens the governance structure by ensuring that individuals in leadership roles are familiar with the board's functions and operations, as they are already part of the group. Members often have firsthand experience regarding the regulations and challenges the board faces, enabling them to make informed decisions that benefit the board as a whole.

The focus on internal election fosters a collaborative environment where leadership can be more effectively aligned with the board's goals and objectives. This system also allows for continuity in leadership, as elected members may build upon the work of their predecessors, ensuring a more stable administration.

In this context, voting by public members, external nominations, or appointing leaders based on seniority would not offer the same level of insight and accountability among leaders as an internal election process does. By electing leaders from within, the board can maintain a strong connection to the grassroots issues affecting the profession through the insights of its own members.
