Guest Moody Posted March 18, 2011 at 04:43 PM Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 at 04:43 PM If our current chairman is being nominated again for our board of directors, should he pass the gavel to the vice-chair during this part of the meeting. He was nominated by committee, but the floor will be opened. Ballots collected and counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ed Posted March 18, 2011 at 06:45 PM Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 at 06:45 PM However, the organization is free to create a standing rule requiring the Chairman to step aside when the election occurs. Some organizations do this for the appearance of neutrality. It is really up to the organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moody Posted March 18, 2011 at 06:58 PM Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 at 06:58 PM Thank you all. Our meeting is Monday night and I just try to be prepared for anything. Our officers are not elected until the next night, which is our regular monthly meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
