CSWE’s National Nominating Committee (NNC), in accordance with policies prescribed by the Council, prepares slates of nominees for officers, members of the board of directors, and members of the nominating committee. 

The NNC develops a slate of candidates for officers and board members that will result in 50% composition from underrepresented groups as identified in the CSWE’s diversity, equity, and inclusion policy. Not less than 90 days prior to the election, the nominating committee shall report its nominations to the secretary, who in turn will convey them to the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors.
