The USA Judo Nominating Committee sits for a two year term, beginning January 1 of even numbered years, which are the years in which Board of Directors Elections are held.
The Nominating Committee consists of five members:
- An individual selected by the previous Nominating Committee from that Committee, who shall be the chair;
- An individual who is independent as that term is defined in Section 6.6 of these Bylaws and who is selected by the previous Nominating Committee;
- An athlete selected by the USA Judo Elite Athletes (as referred to in Article 11 of these Bylaws) and who shall otherwise qualify as an athlete m accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1 of these Bylaws;
- An individual selected by the membership groups of USA Judo; and
- An individual selected by the Board of Directors
Mr. Tim Jordan, the Independent Member of the present Nominating Committee has been selected by that Committee to Chair the 2020/2021 Nominating Committee.
Before January 1, 2020, the present Nominating Committee will select an Independent Member for the 2020/2021 Nominating Committee.
The Athlete Member and the Group Member of the 2020/2021 Nominating Committee will be elected by electronic ballot in December 2019.
Before January 1, 2020, the USA Judo Board of Directors will select the Board appointed Member of the 2020/2021 Nominating Committee.
Election Process for the Athlete Member and the Group Member:
The elections will be be administered by Association Elections, the third-party administrator contracted by USA Judo. The election process has three parts: 1) a call for nominations and approval of the nominees as qualified; 2) registration of voters by electronic means by Association Elections; and 3) the electronic election itself. This will occur on the timeline published on the USA Judo 2020 Election web page.
In each of the two categories, the candidate with the greatest number of votes will be elected. Each registered Athlete will have one vote for the Athlete Member and each Group, though its leader, will have one vote for the Group Member. In the event that two candidates are tied for the greatest number of votes, a second run-off election will be held. In the event that the run-off results in a tie, the Nominating Committee will determine an equitable resolution.
USA Judo Elite Athletes and Group leaders will each receive an e-mail inviting them to register electronically, to receive a ballot. This e-mail will be sent to each individual's USA Judo e-mail address of record, associated with their USA Judo member ID. Athletes and Group leaders should log in to their member record on the USA Judo website and ensure that their listed e-mail address is correct.
The list of qualified USA Judo Elite Athletes is published on the USA Judo website at www.teamusa.org/USA-Judo/2020-Elections/Qualified-Elite-Athletes. The list of Group A, B and C organizations and their leaders of record is published on the USA Judo website at teamusa.org/USA-Judo/About-Us/State-Organizations-Archive/2019/Group-A-B-C-Members.
