Nomination of officers


Cliff

Recommended Posts

If a nominating committee fails to nominate a full slate of officers or if someone previously nominated to be on a slate of officers subsequently withdraws himself/herself from consideration, does the chair then open nominations from the floor? Lacking direction from the bylaws, can or should the nominated slate, being compromised by lack of sufficient candidates for the open positions, be voted on any way, leaving a position open for later consideration?

The chair should normally ask for nominations from the floor, even if there is a nominating committee (p. 435, ll.9-26).

After the nominating committee's report is made at the meeting, the chair must call for nominations from the floor.  To be clear, this includes all positions, not only those that the nominating committee failed to report on, but also those that they did nominate.
