The USTA Pacific Northwest (USTA/PNW) Section Nominating Committee is now accepting applications for open Area Vice President and Executive Board positions. The official application form along with a current resume that includes tennis background are the tools used to evaluate candidates. The deadline to submit your application is Friday, October 16. An interview process will proceed after the deadline has expired. Following the review of applications and interviews, the USTA/PNW Nominating Committee will submit the slate to the USTA/PNW Member Organizations for approval/disapproval by a pre-determined date.

Each Organizational Member shall be entitled to cast an advisory vote for or against the nominee for Area Vice President nominated for the geographical area within which the Organizational Member is located. In the event the Nominating Committee receives votes disapproving of any area nominee that totals at least one-third (1/3) of the total possible Organizational Member votes within that geographical area, the Nominating Committee, following the procedure described above, will provide an additional nominee for further consideration by the Organizational Members from any area in which the prior nominee was disapproved. This slate is then presented to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting. Upon approval, unless there is a withdrawal, the slate will go into effect at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting.
