42. Nomination Committees and National Sport Organizations: Designing the Way to Democracy?

Author

Molloy, Tracy, Ferkins, Lesley, and Dickson, Geoff

Subjects
SPORTS, DEMOCRACY, CONSTITUTIONALISM, LEGITIMACY of governments, CORPORATE governance
Abstract

The director selection processes of nonprofit national sport organizations underpin board composition and hence board and organizational performance. In the New Zealand context, this study verifies the emergence of nomination committees (NCs) and critically examines, from a democratic theory perspective, the extent to which democratic legitimacy is promoted within the NC structures of national sport organizations' director selection processes. An analysis of national sport organization (NSO) constitutions affirms the NC emergence as a governance phenomenon and results in the development of an NC (constitutional powers-based) classification system. This NC classification contributes to a largely unexamined area of nonprofit sport governance by providing a foundational description of NC structural design features then used to reflect on the extent to which the identified design features may serve to protect member voice (community logic) in the face of increasing pressures on NSOs to adopt professionalized governance structures (corporate logic). A holistic system objectives approach to democratic theory is used to better understand how NC structural design may support such member voice. In this way, the article offers both scholars and practitioners an insight into a range of NC strategic design choices and potential implications for democratic legitimacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

47. Privileging Practice in Sport Leadership: Applying Relational Reflexivity.

Author

Damon, Zack J., Leberman, Sarah, Wells, Janelle E., Burton, Laura, Ferkins, Lesley, Weese, Jim, and Peachey, Jon Welty

Subjects
PRACTICE (Sports), SPORTS administration, REFLEXIVITY, LEADERSHIP, FOLLOWERSHIP, PHYSICAL education, SPORTS instruction
Abstract

Hibbert et al.'s relationally reflexive practice framework guided the authors to develop a new sport leadership generative partnership model emphasizing privileging practice and the sport sector as it relates to researching, teaching, and practicing sport leadership. The 2019 North American Society for Sport Management symposium on sport leadership, titled "The Changing Face of Leadership Within Sport: What Does the Future Hold?" acted as a springboard for deep, reflexive conversations among the authors. Through the development of our model, we purposely highlight the process of a relationally reflexive journey making sense of our lived experiences, engaging with learnings from the symposium, and arguing that sport leadership and followership research and teaching ultimately should be about improving the sport sector within specific cultural contexts. We offer critically conscious considerations for privileging and embedding practice as part of sport management teaching, research, and service. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
