Guest Meg Sponseller Posted August 13, 2018 at 02:09 PM Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 at 02:09 PM What happens if our nominating committee is not able to find anyone to run for office? Is our organization dissolved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted August 13, 2018 at 02:22 PM Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 at 02:22 PM No, but it could be a symptom. The only way to "dissolve" the organization is to rescind the bylaws -- be sure you pay your debts first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted August 13, 2018 at 02:22 PM Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 at 02:22 PM (edited) No. You hold the election as specified in your rules. Whether your nominating committee did its job or not, the chair would call for nominations from the floor, so you might find candidates that way. If nobody is nominated, use blank ballots and ask people to write in names. A majority of votes cast is required for election. Or, if the bylaws do not require a ballot vote, and you can get a single nominee, that person can be declared elected by acclamation. If the existing officers' terms end, and you wind up without a presiding officer or a recording officer, each meeting can choose a president pro tem or secretary pro tem to preside and record for that meeting. The process can be repeated until the election can be completed. Check your bylaws for the terms of office. They may provide that the existing officers serve "until the election of their successors".
