Curious about this, George. How about if absentee votes have been collected before the meeting?

I have looked over the bylaws again, and the only thing I see that concerns me is this statement: "The President shall be the Chief Executive Officer of this organization and, subject to the control of the Board of Directors, shall in general manage, supervise, and control all of the business and affairs of this organization." Would that be something that he could rely on to expect inclusion in every aspect, including the nominating committee. I appreciate all your help and, hopefully, this will be my last question.

Zev, I did look at the 2011 issue of Robert's. I found a lot of information about nominations but not very much about nomination committees. Josh, I believe you, but do you know of anything in Robert's Rules or any other publication that I could print out to prove it? Neither our bylaws nor other procedures state anything at all about them having any authority over the nominating committee.

I am the chairperson of the nominating committee for our property owners association (over a thousand members). I've tried to do background work by reading the bylaws, articles of incorporation, state law, and Robert's Rules. I haven't been able to find as much information as I would like on rules and guidelines for a nominating committee. In our situation, we have three members on the committee. While we have tried our best to do things in a fair, unbiased, sensible manner, we are getting a lot of interference from the President and Vice President of the Board. The Vice President refers to herself as the board member overseeing the elections process and is the one who met with us to go over general instructions. We thought that, after that meeting, the VP would pretty much back away and leave the rest of the nominations process to the committee, but that is not the case. The President has asked us to supply him with information that we feel should be confidential until appropriate to release. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
