Guest Biily Posted October 18, 2021 at 07:07 PM Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 at 07:07 PM We have an upcoming private club election which has an E-Board. The office in question is that of the President. If no one is nominated or decides to run for this office position. What happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Biily Posted October 19, 2021 at 11:57 AM Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 at 11:57 AM A. The tenure for the office of President and Treasurer shall be 2 years and the President is not to succeed himself or herself by re-election more than once. The offices of Vice President, Treasurer, Membership, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, Fleet Captain, Tournament Officer, and E-Board members are not bound by this ruling. They may run for a continuing term for the same office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted October 19, 2021 at 12:42 PM Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 at 12:42 PM Is there anything In your bylaws that says officers continue to serve until their successors are elected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Biily Posted October 19, 2021 at 05:35 PM Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 at 05:35 PM Richard, no there is not and that will have to be changed in our current bylaws so this incident doesn't occur again. From what I understand, if no one is nominated and accepts the position or no one "throws their name into the hat" per se, this will be the first time in the history of the club that this has happened. Sad but it seems no one wants to get involved or do anything anymore. As with most organizations, clubs etc. it's the same handful of people that actually care about what's going on with the club or wants to do anything to help out.

Richard Brown Posted October 19, 2021 at 09:45 PM Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 at 09:45 PM (edited) Guest Billy, you do still have a couple of options, but I’m not able to explain them at the moment. If no one else does, I will try to come back later with a couple of suggestions. First, tell me: do you conduct your elections at a meeting? Edited to add: Also, does your organization utilize a nominating committee? One more question: can nominations be made from the floor at the election meeting? (Note: RONR requires that nominations permitted at the election meeting unless your bylaws or special rules of order prohibit it).

Guest Biily Posted October 19, 2021 at 10:13 PM Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 at 10:13 PM Yes we do conduct nominations/elections at our general membership and/or e-board meetings. We do also have a nominating committee. Nominations can be made from the floor at a general membership and/or e-board meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand why you have elections at general membership meetings, but who is elected at board meetings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Biily Posted October 19, 2021 at 11:21 PM Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 at 11:21 PM Sorry, maybe I didn't explain myself clearly. Nominations are taken at our General Membership Meetings and our E-Board Meetings in both October and November. The actual election of officers are held during our General Membership meeting in December. Appreciate everyone's input on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Novosielski Posted October 23, 2021 at 06:49 AM Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 at 06:49 AM Okay, but I'm still not sure I understand why nominations for a membership election would be offered at a meeting of the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
