When I was the CCA, I also advised the Nominating Committee. I would usually not give personal input on the individual who was being discussed for a certain position unless I had worked with her in a previous advisory role, but I would say what the responsibilities of the various officer positions were and (IME) what type of personality would be a good fit for that position. The Nominating Chair and her committee always made the final decision and they generally did a good job matching women to officer positions, even if it wasn't always the one they were "running" for.

An adviser is required to be present at all NomCom meetings.

As a chapter advisor, I'd agree on this, tho my chapter doesn't use a NomCom.

Also, I advise that atleast one advisor be present during elections, and would be a good choice to be a teller for the elections, to ensure fairness.
