jstackpo Posted August 30, 2011 at 12:21 AM Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 at 12:21 AM There is no prohibition about that in RONR.It's sometimes called "volunteering", which sounds much nicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Norma McIntire Posted September 16, 2011 at 01:18 AM Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 at 01:18 AM Are there any restrictions on who can run for VP ? Do they have to be on the board or a chairman of a committee. Our rules state one year active member but others say "active" means on the board or chairman....What say you?Norma McIntirePlantation Fl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our rules state one year active member but others say "active" means on the board or chairman....What say you?I say it is up to you all to determine what the term "active" means. First, check the bylaws and any other applicable governing documents to see whether they define the term. If not, you all will have to decide what it means and then you should amend the bylaws to codify that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Martin Posted September 16, 2011 at 01:24 AM Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 at 01:24 AM Are there any restrictions on who can run for VP ?Not in RONR. Any such restrictions would have to be in your Bylaws.Do they have to be on the board or a chairman of a committee.RONR has no such requirement.Our rules state one year active member but others say "active" means on the board or chairman....What say you?Well, unless your rules actually define "active member" anywhere, it would seem you have an ambiguous provision the assembly will need to interpret for itself. See RONR, 10th ed., pgs. 570-573 for some Principles of Interpretation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David A Foulkes Posted September 17, 2011 at 12:16 AM Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 at 12:16 AM Can one person nominate two different people for the same position?If nominating for a single office, no. If more than one person is to be elected to a position, such as to a board of directors or trustees, yes but not until every member wishing to nominate someone has had a chance to do so. In no case can a member nominate more persons than there are places to fill. (RONR 10th Ed., p. 418 l. 6-12) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
