Robert B Fish Posted September 6, 2011 at 12:27 PM Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 at 12:27 PM If a choice of the nominating committee withdraws, the nominating committee may nominate someone else, providing that the time issues in your bylaws are still met. The options of write-in votes and nominations from teh floor also still remain.-Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
