Guest Robert Romano Posted December 9, 2016 at 11:02 PM Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 at 11:02 PM As vice-president of a 3000+ member with an election coming up next week, a question has arisen about nominations. The question is , does a seated board member need to be nominated when their term is up, or are they automatically nominated , since they are currently holding the seat.

(We see question often enough that someone should create a Frequently Asked Questions entry.) Under Robert's Rules of Order, there is no such thing as an automatic nomination. • If nominations are conducted from the floor, then a member must make the nomination. • If nominations are conducted in some other way, a customized method, then a sitting officer better pre-plan how to accomplish his nomination.
