Leadership Search Committee

The Leadership Search Committee (LSC) was established by AVIXA in 2008 to find and mentor volunteers to serve on committees and to appear on the next AVIXA election ballot.

The LSC consists of the Leadership Search Committee Chair; the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Vice Chair and Secretary-Treasurer of AVIXA; three members elected by AVIXA membership; and four members appointed by the Leadership Search Committee Chair. The LSC will make appointments and nominations and will make suggestions to committee chairs, the Board, and the Chairman of the Board of Directors for their use in recruiting committee members.

Das Finanzkomitee besteht aus dem Vorsitzenden des Leadership Search Committee, dem Chairman des Board of Directors, dem stellvertretenden Vorsitzenden und dem Schatzmeister von AVIXA, bis zu drei vom Vorstand ernannten Vorstandsmitgliedern, die keine Amtsträger sind, und zwei vom Vorstand ernannten AVIXA-Mitgliedern, die nicht dem Vorstand angehören. Das Finanzkomitee hat die Aufgabe, Budgets zur Genehmigung durch den Vorstand vorzulegen und die Finanzen von AVIXA zu überwachen und mit AVIXA-Mitarbeitern und Wirtschaftsprüfern zusammenzuarbeiten, um jährliche oder besondere Prüfungen zu planen, zu überwachen und darüber zu berichten. Das Finanzkomitee wird vom AVIXA-Schatzmeister geleitet.
