Guest JRSlattery Posted July 30, 2018 at 03:55 PM Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 at 03:55 PM Is the nominating committee of a sports (Women's Golf Association) organization required to present the potential slate of new executive officers to the entire existing organization board (made up of several committees) for their approval?

Atul Kapur Posted July 30, 2018 at 04:19 PM Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 at 04:19 PM (edited) I think that the best place to find the answer is in your bylaws, any Special Rules you've adopted, or in the motion that created/appointed the committee. I dont have my RONR in front of me, but I cannot recall anything in RONR that would answer your specific question. Stay tuned, others may.

As my colleagues stated, the answer to your question likely depends on your own bylaws. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by names being submitted to the entire organization board "for their approval". The nominees nominated by the nominating committee don't need to be approved by anybody else unless required by your bylaws. The whole purpose of the nominating committee is to come up with the best candidates and no other person or body stands between the nominees selected by the nominating committee and the actual election of the officers except, possibly additional nominees submitted from the floor. Any "approval" of the names suggested by the nominating committee would have to be provided for in your bylaws. The nominees are not automatically elected unless your bylaws provide for it or provide that they may be declared elected by acclamation if there are no other nominees from the floor. If your bylaws require a ballot vote, then a ballot vote must be conducted even if there are no other nominees. The requirement of a ballot vote cannot be waived or suspended unless the bylaws themselves provide for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
