[Guest Melinda]

We will have yearly nominations next week.  What is the procedure if no one accepts nomination for an office?

Float the idea of disbanding the organization.  That often prompts hesitant people to accept nominations.

Are people actually saying they will not accept  the nomination if offered and that they will not serve if elected? Have they actually been nominated and refused to accept the nomination? Experience has shown that when people are actually nominated they do tend to accept the nomination and if elected they do normally go ahead and serve. 

Edited to add: you might also consider writing their names in on the ballot. Unless your by laws prohibit write in candidates, they must be permitted on a ballot vote. Someone can actually be elected with only one or two votes. Once elected, people tend to agree to serve.
