Every two years at Zonta’s International Convention, the International Nominating Committee presents a slate of candidates for the election of the International Board and the Nominating Committee.

The District Nominating Committee is elected by delegates at the Fall Conference (odd-numbered years) and is independent in fulfilling its duties. The role of the District Nominating Committee is to recruit Zontians who meet the prerequisites for district officers, directors, and the nominating committee and to give information about the process as needed. This is an active role. The District Nominating Committee must encourage clubs to nominate members who meet the prerequisites.

The Club Nominating Committee is elected by club members each biennium and is independent in fulfilling its duties. The role of the Club Nominating Committee is to encourage club members to nominate candidates for elective positions; contact prospective nominees, inform them of the duties of office, and obtain their consent to serve if elected.  The committee presents a slate of candidates for election of the Club Board and Nominating Committee.
