The nominees are selected by the Nomination Committee, which screens candidates through a merit-based process that considers their demonstrated skills in leadership, strategy, financial literacy, risk management, human resources, regulatory understanding, governance, and technical proficiency. In previous elections, the Chair was elected separately. But, starting this year, registrants will be voting directly for Board members only. The Chair and Vice Chair will be selected by the elected Board members after the election. This change is to align with best practices for regulatory bodies.
