Our Board Member Nomination Form Template standardizes nominations: nominee skills, term preferences, supporting statements, and current-role disclosures that governance committees need before the slate is finalized.
Why and when to use a board member nomination form
Nominations gathered by hallway conversation skew toward whoever speaks loudest. A structured form gives every nominee the same questions, documents the skills matrix the board is missing, and surfaces conflicts like current roles before the vote.
Who is this template for
Nonprofit boards, condo and HOA associations, professional societies, credit unions, and co-op boards running annual elections.
Why SharaForms is the best tool for this form
Current board roles are disclosed only when relevant, resumes attach to each nomination, and the skills export builds your governance matrix without a spreadsheet marathon.
Best practices for board nominations

- Build the skills matrix from nomination data
- Confirm willingness before publishing the slate
Common mistakes to avoid

Frequently asked questions about the Board Member Nomination Form template
Everything you need to know about this template.
- What should a board nomination include?
Nominee contact details, relationship to the nominator, term sought, skills, a bio or resume, and a supporting statement. This form captures the set, so governance committees compare candidates on equal footing.
- Why ask if the nominee currently serves?
Current board members need their existing role disclosed with the nomination. The current-role field appears only when they are serving, which keeps term limits and officer conflicts visible before the slate is published.
- How do skills tags help the board?
They build the skills matrix directly from nomination data instead of from memory. Committees see where finance, legal, or fundraising gaps sit, then prioritize nominees who fill those gaps rather than collecting a fifth marketing person.
- Should resumes be attached to nominations?
Yes, a single bio or resume file per nomination. Committee members read one document per candidate rather than chasing links, and the file stays attached to the nomination record.
- Who confirms the nominee is willing?
The nominations committee confirms willingness before the slate is finalized. The nominee email field exists precisely so that confirmation reaches the source directly, rather than bouncing back through an enthusiastic nominator who assumed the answer.
- When should nominations close?
Two weeks before the annual meeting is common. State the deadline in the intro block and every submission timestamps, so late nominations are a fact rather than an argument.
- How do I create a board member nomination form?
Start from this ready-made template and customize it in the drag and drop builder, generate one from a short text description with the AI form builder, or assemble fields yourself on a blank canvas.
