Good afternoon. My bylaws (very simple) state "In the year of an election, a nominating committee of three(3) members shall be elected a the regular meeting in January."
Previous scripts have stated:
President: "The next item of business is the Election of the Nominating Committee: XXXX, Recording Secretary, will read from the Bylaws Article V, Section 2. Nominations for the Nominating Committee are now in order.
Member: "I nominate ______"
President: "______ has been nominated. Are there further nominations."
My question is,
May I change the script to say to instead:
"The next item of business is the Election of the Nominating Committee: XXXX, Recording Secretary, will read from the Bylaws Article V, Section 2.
Nominations for the Nominating Committee are now in order.
To save time today, the following members have agreed to be on the nomination committee.
If there are no further nominations, the nominations will be closed."
My purpose is to cut down on time and also to put the people on the committee that we know will choose quality candidates as they know the membership the best.
Thank you for your input. - Donna
