Secretary2016 Posted December 21, 2016 at 11:07 AM Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 at 11:07 AM I'm creating a new nomination form in time for our next AGM. Many of our members' terms of office expire at the AGM. Do they have to nominate for the committee first and then nominate for an executive position? So, is the first election to just get back on the committee and then is there normally a separate form for the President's role for example?

Dan Honemann Posted December 21, 2016 at 12:16 PM Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 at 12:16 PM Your organization's constitution or bylaws certainly specify what officers are required and how they are to be elected. What do they say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps additional responses should be made in that thread instead of repeating the same information in two threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you are describing as situation where the members of a board (usually not called a committee) are elected by the general membership, and then the board elects its own officers from among its members. If that's the way your bylaws say to do it, then that's how to do it. But you'll need to check. Also, if your bylaws do not mention nominations, why are you designing some sort of form? You can't require anyone to use it if the bylaws default to nominations from the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
