Secretary2016

I'm creating a new nomination form in time for our next AGM. Many of our members' terms of office expire at the AGM. Do they have to nominate for the committee first and then nominate for an executive position? So, is the first election to just get back on the committee and then is there normally a separate form for the President's role for example?

I am the current secretary of an incorporated association (not for profit). At our AGM in March, 7 out of 12 members term of office is up and we expect a couple of those people to resign and a few new committee members to nominate. This is fine. Three of the four executive members (President, Vice Pres, Secretary), term is also up (three of the seven indicated above). Nothing in our constitution indicates the process for nomination. What is normal? Do people have to indicate their interest in an executive position before the AGM so that financial members (most of whom won't attend the AGM) have the option to come along and vote if they feel passionately about it or can people nominate right up until just before the vote at the AGM? Is it normal to elect the new committee members first including the people currently on the executive who might want to continue, and then proceed to the President vote (if more than 1 nomination), then Vice, then Secretary etc?
