Guest Janet Posted January 17, 2020 at 03:19 AM Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 at 03:19 AM Our nominating committee selects the officers for the following year and have always done the voting by mail or email after each member of the committee has received the letters of intent and the resumes. The question has risen if something like "Survey Monkey" can be used. Since I am not familiar with "Survey Monkey" I don't know how it works with ties, etc. so I feel unable to answer the Chair of the Nominating Committee on this question.

Chris Harrison Posted January 17, 2020 at 04:11 AM Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 at 04:11 AM I can't speak to Survey Monkey or any of those other programs. However, before any of that is considered the first question would need to be if the Bylaws specifically established the Nominating Committee? If it is, then you cannot hold meetings or votes via email unless the Bylaws say you can. If it isn't specifically established under the Bylaws then the General Membership can adopt a standing rule allowing it. See RONR pp. 98-99 for more details.

Richard Brown Posted January 17, 2020 at 04:25 AM Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 at 04:25 AM Does your nominating Committee just make nominations or does it actually elect the officers? It sounds like you are describing an actual election with absentee voting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
