Yes, it’s entirely possible that a person that is not ready for the board could end up on the ballot and actually be elected. One of the hopes is that the recommendations from PASS members that the applicant had actually volunteered with could help to weed out folks that had literally no experience. The main concern, though, was to ensure that the NomCom could not be accused of excluding applicants due to anything outside of their application and interview.

We’re all professionals here. Applicants have every opportunity to discover what is expected from members of the BOD – they can even have discussion with current or past board members to clarify the responsibilities. If they still choose to run, PASS doesn’t have the right to prevent that. Also, if there are not enough applicants for a full slate, that indicates an issue with PASS as a whole.

In past years, members of the NomCom were subjected to some fairly harsh criticism. One of our goals was to ensure that wouldn’t happen again.

Hope this explains some of your questions.

Thanks,
Lori
