Guest jan Posted April 2, 2011 at 06:37 PM Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 at 06:37 PM I am on the board of a small association (5 members). If a director is nominated and no one wants to second the nomination, can the person second his/her own nomination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But outside of political conventions, this is an immeasurably uncommon practice.In either case, he needn't worry. If someone nominates him, he's nominated.

It's not clear what he's being nominated for, or within what body the nomination is occurring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
