The committee will assess each application based on specific criteria, using numerical scores. All reviews are conducted with a single-minded goal to find the best candidate, with fairness and impartiality.
Every eligible application will be rated on its demonstration of 5 specific criteria, and this rating will be on a scale of 1-10. Criteria are business acumen focused on strategic planning and financial management; industry influence; MPI community or governance experience; global experience; and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Each year, the weighting of criteria may change based on board vacancies and the industry's current challenges.
At that time, each and every eligible application will be assessed and rated numerically. Applicants scoring in the mid-to-upper threshold of all ratings will be contacted for an interview; those who score in the lower tier will be notified that they are not moving forward in the selection process. These notifications will occur by the end of September. Interviews begin August-September.
In October, new board members will be selected by committee and ratified by the current board. An announcement will be sent by email to the membership at large November 1.
