Guest Kelley Reece Posted August 21, 2019 at 04:23 PM Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 at 04:23 PM If the nominating committee of a board makes a recommendation to approve a new board member, does it require a second to that recommendation/motion or can it go straight to vote?

Atul Kapur Posted August 21, 2019 at 04:32 PM Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 at 04:32 PM Nominations do not require a second. Recommendations from committees also do not require a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recommendations from committees also do not require a second. So in this case, the absence of two seconds would be required. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zev Posted August 22, 2019 at 07:44 PM Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 at 07:44 PM Quote A motion made by direction of a board or duly appointed committee of the assembly requires no second from the floor (provided the subordinate group is composed of more than one person), since the motion's introduction has been directed by a majority vote within the board or committee and is therefore desired by at least two assembly members or elected or appointed persons to whose opinion the assembly is presumed to give weight regarding the board's or committee's concerns.
