Appoint |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus | 0.01 sec. |
|
To designate, select, or assign authority to a position or an office. Although sometimes used interchangeably, elect and appoint do not have the same meaning. Election refers to the selection of a public officer by the qualified voters of the community, and appointment refers to the selection of a public officer by one authorized by law to do so. |

After much debate, a regionalization of the Planning Commission was suggested, but its members are appointed instead of elected, so there will be issues to which the appointee will likely be beholden to the appointer and thus too vulnerable to the appointer's opinion. The Intelligent Appointer can also make an initial check to determine whether sufficient capacity exists to make a customer appointment, and then if necessary makes a more precise assessment by looking within the live schedule to return the cost/risk of the commitment. |
