The charge of the ISACA Nominating Committee, as described in section 4.5(c) of the ISACA bylaws, is to prepare a slate of candidates for the ISACA Board of Directors, consisting of a board chair, vice-chair, directors and past board chairs. According to section 4.5(c), that slate is presented to the current board for approval during its regularly scheduled meeting immediately preceding the Annual General Meeting. Said process was followed, and the 2019-20 board slate was presented and approved by the ISACA Board of Directors on 1 April 2019.

The Nominating Committee is chaired by a past chair of ISACA, and its members include 2 additional past chairs and 4 other members with significant ISACA experience and diverse geographic representation.

The committee has an obligation to prepare the best possible slate of individuals who will work together as a team to lead the association. Its evaluation of candidates considers their intent to reflect the organization’s diversity in terms of attributes, skills, expertise, experience and geography, while also balancing continuity and new viewpoints.

The selection process is managed with attention to detail. Deadlines are strictly adhered to, nominations are treated with unbiased consideration, candidates are interviewed and strict confidentiality is maintained throughout the process. The Governance Committee (GC) provides oversight to the committee’s processes and the committee reports to the Board of Directors and the membership of ISACA.

As chair of the Nominating Committee, I affirm that the committee’s deliberations were carried out in accordance with the bylaws and good governance principles.
