Nomiating committee not appointed

[Guest doug]

Our association at the August Genral Membership meeting seeks nominations from the floor to form a nominating committee of 7 members. They are charged with presenting a slate of canidates at the September Membership meeting, at that meeting nominations from the floor for the open positions can be made. At the October meeting the elections are held.

The question is; when the induvidual running the August meeting does not call for a nominating committee to be formed what do you do?

Seek nominations from the at the September meeting and hold the elections in October? Or do you delay the process until the next meeting and delay the processes by 1 month for each?

Here is a copy of our by-law on this subject;

committee of seven (7) members shall be elected by the Association. The

Carry on without the selections of the nominating committee.

Carry on without the selections of the nominating committee.

.......in September, since there's no fatal procedural flaw in doing so. There's no reason they can't get the job done on time.
