2009 IAAE-PURDUE
Officer Petition
On behalf of the 2008 IAAE-Purdue officers, we would all like to thank-you for choosing to apply for an office in IAAE-Purdue. The future success of our organization will soon depend on a new group of leaders to guide and direct our organization into the future. In just a little over a month there will be a new group of IAAE-Purdue officers elected at our annual Christmas party. In order that the best applicants are chosen to lead this organization, the senior nominating committee along with the executive committee has developed an officer petition to evaluate and decide which applicants are the most qualified. Below is the explanation of how the selection process will be conducted.
The officer petition will consist of three parts. The first part of the petition is to fill out the information sheet attached below along with answering the two questions provided. Please keep the answers to the two questions to a maximum of one separate page. The next part is to provide the nominating committee with a completed resume. The last part of running for an office is to go through an interview with the nominating committee. All three parts of the application process is required. If an applicant fails to complete one of the above three mentioned parts, then they will forfeit the opportunity to serve as an IAAE officer. For instance if the applicant fails to complete an interview and is not slated for office, they cannot be nominated from the floor if the slate is not passed.
The interview process will consist of each applicant going through three different interview stations. The seniors who wish to do so will serve on the nominating committee, so to make things a little less stressful during the interview process the nominating committee will divide into three groups of three to four instead of one group of eleven. The applicant will move to each station and will be asked questions in each group spending about five minutes in each group. There will be no more than ten questions in fifteen minutes. By doing the interviews this way it allows for each member of the nominating committee is able to talk with each applicant and learn more about them. In order to schedule the best times for interviews, please attach a schedule of classes along with the application so we can schedule everyone in the best times. Tentative interview date is set for December 3rd. An interview time sign up sheet will be posted outside Dan’s office Friday morning November 24th until 5:00pm. Each applicant must sign up sometime Friday or contact Dan with the time desired.
We hope that this application process will be a positive experience for everyone. We want to find the best and most qualified applicants to serve our organization, which is why we are taking this process seriously. We look forward to talking to you during the interviews and learning more about each one of you. Applications are due in Dan’s office by 5:00pm on Monday November 24th. Be sure to check the checklist on the last page to make sure you have completed all three parts of the application. If there are any questions that you may have feel free to contact Dan @ 765-494-8423 or myself @ 317-626-1810. Again, thank you for choosing to apply for office and good luck to each of you.
Best of Luck,
Joseph G. Dunn
IAAE President
