Guest Macallan Posted August 8, 2010 at 01:31 PM Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 at 01:31 PM We are a small not for profit organization. We are incorporated. The Board consists of President and Directors (5). In the past for the AGM we have requested that anyone wishing to run for the Board to let the Secretary know. My question is "Do the folks running for office have to be nominated and seconded at the AGM?"Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted August 8, 2010 at 01:38 PM Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 at 01:38 PM Nominations don't need a second (unless your rules say otherwise). Board members are elected at the AGM unless your bylaws say otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmtcastle Posted August 8, 2010 at 01:46 PM Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 at 01:46 PM My question is "Do the folks running for office have to be nominated and seconded at the AGM?"As far as RONR is concerned, members are free to vote for whomever they want, whether that person has been nominated or not. That's what write-in votes are for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Goldsworthy Posted August 8, 2010 at 06:11 PM Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 at 06:11 PM Do the folks running for office have to be nominated and seconded at the AGM?No.It is even looser than that!• Seconds are not a requirement for nominations, under Robert's Rules of Order.• Nominations are not a requirement for an election.• Voters are free to write in names, even for people never nominated.• Ballots need not list any names at all. A blank sheet is perfectly acceptable as a form of ballot.• Nominations, if closed, can be re-opened via a motion so, by majority vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However..... please post your question as a new question, rather than "piggy-backing" on this existing question. Answers to yours will get mixed in with the original question's answers and it will get messy, so if you please..... and if you could use a little teensy bit of punctuation, it could help.Also, if you would, please turn off your CAPS LOCK KEY. Typing in all caps is hard to read, and in the internet world is sort of like SHOUTING!! Thanks, and see you at your next posting.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
