Here is the CLF bylaw that describes the process.
Section 2 A Nominating Committee shall be composed of four members of the Congregation. Three Nominating Committee members shall be elected at the Annual meeting and the fourth member shall be appointed by the Board of Directors from among its members. Elected Nominating Committee members shall serve for terms of three years. A Nominating Committee member will serve only one full term, plus, if the situation arises, finish a partial term created by a position vacated before a term ends. Nominating Committee members will be eligible to serve again after the lapse of one year.
