Presentation of slate of nominees

[Guest Nicole DeLoach]

Is there a specific way in which a slate of nominees should be presented to the body.  For example, should the office of President and its nominees be presented first or last.

[Guest Puzzling]

In RONR the order of electing the officers is the order they are mentioned in the bylaws, so I would assume you could use the same order for presenting

I do believe in giving credit where credit is due and in this case I agree with the response above by Guest Puzzling. I have probably not said that often. It’s about as close to being straight out of the book as we can get.

Candidates do not stand for election as part of a "ticket" or "slate".

Actually, section 46:15  says that is actually the way the nominating committee’s report should be presented.

”46:15 When the nominating committee is called upon for its report at a meeting, its chairman rises and presents the report as follows: NOMINATING COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN: Mr. President, the Nominating Committee submits the following nominations: For President, Mr. A [or “John A”]; for Vice-President, Mr. B; for Secretary, Mr. C;… [and so on for each office to be filled, naming the nominees in the order in which the offices are listed in the bylaws].
