Committees
Professional Development Seminar Planning Committee
The committee plans session content and activities, identifies speakers, and conducts other tasks that contribute to the success of the Professional Development Seminar. Committee members serve a one year term of office.
Legislative Staff Achievement Award Committee
The annual Legislative Staff Achievement Award was created by the Legislative Staff Coordinating Committee to recognize excellence in supporting the work of a state legislature and strengthening the legislative institution. Each staff section associated with NCSL may name up to two recipients–individuals, teams or legislative offices–for recognition each year. The NALIT Staff Achievement Award Committee solicits nominations and recommends award recipients for the NALIT Legislative Staff Achievement Award, based on criteria outlined on the NALIT website. Committee members serve a one year term of office.
Nominating Committee
The NALIT Nominating Committee is responsible for compiling a slate of nominees for the offices of chair, vice chair and secretary. This slate is submitted by the chair of the Nominating Committee for a vote of the general members of the Association at the NCSL Legislative Summit. Nominees are elected by a simple majority of the general members of the association present and voting. Committee members serve a one year term of office.
Online Democracy Award Committee
The Online Democracy Award is sponsored by NCSL’s Legislative Information and Communication Staff Section (LINCS) and the National Association of Legislative Information Technology (NALIT). Each year, the Selection Committee, made up of past winners, considers nominations from official legislative websites developed and maintained by or under the authority of (a) a state legislature, (b) a legislative chamber, or (c) an officially-recognized legislative partisan caucus. Committee members serve a two-year term of office.
