How is leadership selected within the CE advisory task force?

Leadership within the Continuing Education (CE) advisory task force is selected through an election from the task force membership. This method ensures that the leaders of the task force are chosen democratically by their peers, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and collaboration among members.

The election process allows for a transparent and fair selection of leaders who are likely to represent the interests and viewpoints of the entire task force effectively. It encourages engagement and participation from all members, as they have a direct say in who will lead them and guide the initiatives of the task force.

In contrast, selection by seniority may not necessarily reflect the best leadership qualities or the most suitable candidate to lead the task force’s objectives. Appointment by the governor could lead to a disconnect between the leadership and the task force members’ needs. Rotation every two years may introduce instability and disrupt continuity without ensuring that the individuals leading have the support of the entire task force, which is critical for effective leadership. Overall, the election process is a best practice in such advisory groups.
