The purpose of the Membership and Nominations Committee is twofold. First, the committee is charged with nurturing SER membership, including developing new approaches to fostering inclusion, diversity, and equity in SER membership and working with the Executive Committee on implementation of these efforts. Second, the committee is charged with identifying members who can be engaged in SER activities, both in SER’s committees and on the SER Executive Committee. The committee will help identify potential candidates for election to executive positions for consideration by the SER Executive Committee annually.
