The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for oversight and administration of the HSC election process, including soliciting a broad spectrum of candidates for the Board of Directors and the Chair and Vice Chair of the HSC Membership. The committee reviews the HSC bylaws at least biannually and presents suggested changes to the Board of Directors for feedback, and to the HSC Membership for approval. They also review the code of conduct and conflict of interest policy for the Board biannually and present suggested revisions to the Board of Directors. The committee may take on other policy-related projects or make policy recommendations to the Board, other committee, or HSC membership as time allows. 

If there is a vacancy in the Chair position and no committee members volunteer to serve, the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee will be appointed by the President of the HSC Board of Directors.
