Guest Allison Davis Posted April 7, 2017 at 08:31 PM Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 at 08:31 PM We are a member organization of 50 and are poise to elect a new president. Presently, only one person is on the ballot. She is included in the slate from our nominating committee. At our monthly meeting in March, our president announced the slate and called for nominations from the floor. When no one responded, she closed the nominations from the floor. There was no motion or vote to do so from the body. It seems that members may want to re-open nominations from the floor before the election due to take place at our April meeting. Since there was only a decree by the chair that the nominations be closed with no vote by the body, how can we proceed to re-open nominations?

jstackpo Posted April 7, 2017 at 08:51 PM Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 at 08:51 PM At the April meeting, simply move to (re)open nominations, RONR p. 288. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted April 7, 2017 at 09:58 PM Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 at 09:58 PM Agreeing with Dr. Stackpole, it takes a majority vote to reopen nominations unless it is done by unanimous consent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
