Election Process

Each fall, we invite members to express their interest in running for our Board of Directors. To begin the process, you must complete an interest form, which is available on our website for a specified period after the solicitation is sent out. Upon submitting your interest form, you will receive a formal application with a deadline for submission.

Once the application deadline has passed, the Nominating Committee will review all applications. The Board strives to maintain a diverse skill set in its members. Applications are reviewed for skills that the Board is seeking and for prior experience on non-profit boards. Additionally, incumbent board members may apply at the end of their terms to fill the roles in which they are currently serving.

The Committee will then nominate at least one member for each vacancy. Eligible applicants who are not nominated will be notified of their right to seek election via a petition process. Each person seeking nomination by petition shall request a Heritage petition packet that contains all the information and signature pages necessary to satisfy the requirements of Heritage Bylaws.
