Leadership Development Committee (LDC) members are responsible for ensuring effective succession planning for the Society through assessing interested members’ readiness for Board service using established criteria and a comprehensive vetting process. The LDC identifies candidates who best align with the Board’s needs and ONS’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Beyond the annual directors-at-large selection, the LDC prepares members who are interested in Board service and directs them to opportunities to develop their leadership skills.
