PROCESS FOR SELECTING THE VICE CHAIR OF THE OFFICIAL METHODS
BOARD (OMB)
The process begins with the OMB.
Criteria for the Vice Chair of the OMB
Must have served for at least one year as a Member of the OMB
Must fulfill all the criteria for a Member of the OMB
The members of the OMB serve as the search committee for a Vice Chair. They
identify and recommend a slate of nominees as potential candidates for Vice
Chair. The nominees shall be contacted by the Chair of the OMB to confirm
his/her willingness and ability to serve. Once confirmation has been received,
the nominee(s) will be presented to the OMB for a vote. An email ballot shall be
sent out to the members of the OMB with the slate of nominees. The current
Vice Chair collects and tallies the ballots.
The selection of the Vice Chair will be decided by at least a majority vote of the
OMB. If there is a tie, the Chair will cast the determinative vote. If no one
receives a majority vote, another email ballot will be sent out with the top two
nominees who received the highest number of votes.
