johnapril Posted November 28, 2012 at 05:17 PM Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 at 05:17 PM Hello all,I looked on this forum and cannot find an answer to my question.What is the proper order to nominate officers. We have President, 1st V. P., 2nd V.P. and 3rd vp. "NORMALLY the 3rd, 2nd and 1st vp move up in order, and a NEW member is nominated and elected for 3rd VP." So do I start with President, or bottom chair for nominations? Secretary and Treasurer are also in the mix, but for the most part these positions are the same people for a number of years.And also, would this order be the same for ELECTIONS.thanks,John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted November 28, 2012 at 05:51 PM Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 at 05:51 PM Nominations for offices should be called for in the order that the offices are listed in the bylaws (RONR pp. 432-433) Although I don't think that RONR specifically says so it would seem logical that elections would be done the same way.

johnapril Posted November 28, 2012 at 06:03 PM Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 at 06:03 PM Another quick item. If we have only 1 person nominated for each office, at the election next month, can a motion be made that all members nominated be automatically elected to their respective offices? And what is the verbage of the motion to be made.many thanks all.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for a motion to do so. But check your bylaws for that ballot vote requirement. If it's there, then you must have a ballot vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
