Personnel Committee

WSBA Personnel Committee

The Board of Governors Personnel Committee is comprised of the WSBA Officers and at least one governor from each year. No governor may be appointed if they are seeking re-election to the Board or an officer position in their year of appointment. This information must be disclosed to the President-Elect as they are forming the committee for the next year. The President has the authority to remove members from the committee. The committee is appointed by the President and chaired by a senior member who has previously served on the committee.

The Personnel Committee conducts the annual evaluation of the Executive Director and is the touch point for notice of significant personnel actions in accordance with the protocol adopted by the committee. This committee is also available for staff concerns regarding the Executive Director in a process described in WSBA’s Employee Handbook, “Employee Relations” section.

This committee will take a leadership development role and coordinate with WSBA staff in recruitment and outreach efforts for Board of Governors positions. The Personnel Committee may be asked to assure other functions as directed by the Board of Governors.
