Nominating committee recommends Martin for chair, Smith for vice chair and Nettles for secretary
Summary
The Hospital Authority nominating committee approved a recommended slate of officers — Raymond Martin as chair, Christy Smith as vice chair and Dr. Nettles as secretary — and approved the minutes. The committee said it would present its slate to the full Hospital Authority and will reconvene in six months.
At a meeting of the Hospital Authority nominating committee, members approved a recommended slate of officers for the Hospital Authority board: Raymond Martin for chair, Christy Smith for vice chair and Dr. Nettles for secretary. The committee also approved the minutes of its previous meeting and moved to adjourn, saying it would meet again in six months.
Robert Miller, chair of the subcommittee, opened the meeting and read the hospital mission statement: "to improve the health and wellness of Nashville by providing equitable access to coordinated patient centered care, supporting tomorrow's caregivers, and translating science into clinical practice," and then called for approval of the prior meeting's minutes. The minutes were approved by voice vote.
The committee discussed its charge to present a limited slate of candidates to the full Hospital Authority board. Committee members noted they were asked to provide one or two candidates per position to simplify the full board election, though the committee chair said the full board could add names at its discretion. Nominations were opened for each position and handled individually by the committee.
For chair, the committee nominated Raymond Martin. For vice chair, committee members nominated Christy Smith. For secretary, members nominated Dr. Nettles. Each nomination received a second and was approved by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were taken during the meeting.
Committee members debated briefly whether to forward all members who had expressed willingness to serve or to provide a short slate. One member said the committee's charge was to put together a "limited slate so that it makes it simpler for the board to elect," and the committee agreed to send the recommended slate to the full board while remaining open to additional suggestions at the board meeting.
Before adjourning, members agreed to reconvene in approximately six months. No formal objections to the slate were recorded at the nominating committee meeting.
The committee did not set a date for the full board vote; the recommendations will be presented to the Hospital Authority at its next scheduled meeting.
