Election Nominees and creating Ballots
Best practice usually suggests collecting nominee names, and then a committee can take various paths to determining who is ultimately on the ballot.
The best election practices start well before the nominee process, and includes pulling in new people to projects and committee work, and those who are successful contributors should be asked to consider more participation as well as possibliy running for a Board position in the future, etc.
Manwaring, J., Hilbert, A., Walden, K., Bishop, E. R., & Johnson, C. (2018). Validation of the acceptance and action questionnaire for weight-related difficulties in an eating disorder population
Introduction
Researchers are examining Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in the ongoing efforts for effective eating disorder (ED) treatment. ACT focuses on experiential avoidance as a central maintaining factor of ED, so valid measures of this process are needed. We sought to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire for Weight related issues (AAQW), which has only been studied with an overweight population.
