The Western Energy Imbalance Market (EIM) Nominating Committee has started the process to fill the two Western EIM Governing Body seats whose terms are scheduled to end in 2021. The Western EIM Governing Body is a five-member body that works closely with the California ISO Board of Governors and exercises delegated authority over rules of the Western EIM.
Candidates for the Western EIM Governing Body are selected by a Nominating Committee comprised of representatives of EIM stakeholders. The Nominating Committee will immediately begin work on identifying a candidate to bring to the Western EIM Governing Body for approval in a general session meeting.

The following steps are being taken for the nomination process:
- The executive search firm will develop a list of qualified candidates for the Western EIM Governing Body
- Stakeholders are encouraged to provide the names and resumes of qualified candidates to the executive search firm (contact information provided below) by no later than March 1, 2021
- The list of vetted qualified candidates will be sent to the Nominating Committee, who will review and narrow down to a “short list” of at least two candidates per seat
- Following candidate interviews, the Nominating Committee will nominate one nominee by consensus of the voting members; and
- The name of the nominee will be posted to the Western EIM website and the Western EIM Governing Body will make a decision on that nominee
To streamline the nominating process, the executive search firm will accept inbound names of qualified candidates. Stakeholders who wish to submit names to the search firm shall keep the following criteria in mind:
- Submissions must include a resume (not bio format) and a letter of recommendation with rationale and motivation for the suggestion
- Email submissions by end of day March 1, 2021 to Korn Ferry Consulting at CAISOEIM@kornferry.com
