Interested applicants may self-nominate or be nominated by another individual or organization.
Individuals selected for appointment to the Committee will be invited to serve for 3 years. Members of ACICBL, as Special Government Employees, receive compensation for performance of their duties on the Committee and reimbursement for per diem and travel expenses incurred for attending ACICBL meetings.
The following information must be included in the package of materials submitted for each individual nominated for consideration: (1) A letter of nomination from an employer, a colleague, or a professional organization; (2) a current copy of the nominee's curriculum vitae; (3) a statement of interest from the nominee; and (4) a one-paragraph biographical sketch of the nominee.
