Nominations Accepted for the Board of Directors

The US Math Recovery Council's® process for filling open positions on our Board of Directors is to seek nominations from the membership in order to create a voting slate that is then presented for election. The Board of Directors strives to be composed of 7 members from the Math Recovery® community and 6 members from the education community, as well as other professional backgrounds, that possess expertise that would be beneficial to the US Math Recovery Council®.

For the Board to perform at the highest possible level, we seek to diversify the areas of expertise represented among Board members. Board members coming from outside the Math Recovery® community that can add areas of expertise to the US Math Recovery Council® Board of Directors would include, but are not limited to, school administrators, accountants, legal experts, people from the mathematics education community, researchers, university faculty, and community leaders.

As we prepare for our up-coming elections, we are seeking nominations for potential Board Members to help serve the US Math Recovery Council®. We are thankful for those that were nominated this past spring and will be contacting them shortly, but we are always seeking potential Board Members. If you know someone willing to dedicate their time to serving our US Math Recovery Council® community, please submit your nomination to the Board Development Committee at boarddev@mathrecovery.org. Each year you can anticipate three to four open positions on the Board.

This year we are seeking three members from the Math Recovery® community and one from outside the Math Recovery® Community. Timeline for Board Elections:

  • October - Call for nominations from membership
  • December - The Board Development Committee determines a slate of candidates from nominations. The Committee tries to maintain a balance of members on the Board by considering representation from regions of the United States, Math Recovery® practitioners, the math community at large, and skills needed for the board.
  • March - The slate is electronically presented to the membership. Electronic voting opens 15 days after the slate announcement. All current members will have the opportunity to vote on the slate.
  • April - New Board members are announced to the membership through the US Math Recovery Council® website.
