I nominate Nimrod.

I nominate ( AL ) Nimrod.

 

[Nimrod]

I really appreciate the nomination, but since we have two other well qualified candidates willing to throw their hats into the ring I’m going to decline. As I mentioned in a recent post on another thread, I’m pretty busy with work these days and that has to come first for me. So thanks, but I’m confident the position will be well covered by Anthony or Ryan.

Unless I am wrong, I thought nominations were to be seconded before a nominee can accept?

I read the Chapter bylaws and do not see anything about nominations requiring a second nomination. There only needs to be a second to bring this to a vote.

Section 12, Voting

a. The Secretary/Treasurer shall keep records of all voting activity and a log

of all Motions as part of permanent So Cal Chapter records. These records

must be maintained for a period of at least five (5) years.

b. A Member shall make a Motion to the Board of Directors in order to

establish the requirement for a vote. Another Member must second the

Motion in order for it to become a formal Motion. Members can make

subsequent Motions to table or dismiss the Motion under consideration. A

tabled Motion shall be tabled for one month unless otherwise specified.

Successful Motions to dismiss are the equivalent of a failed vote. All

Motions must pass, fail, or table.

Also in regards to special elections I want to make sure this is cross posted on all appropriate forums.

Section 9, Special Elections:

a. In the event of BOD member resignation or recall a special election must

take place. A minimum of one-week notice shall be given that a special

election will be held, followed by a two-week nomination period, which is

then followed by a one week voting period. The newly elected Officer or

Board Member will take office immediately. Said notice may be posted by

any acting BOD member and must be posted in the SoCal Chapter

member forum, public forum, and National Members forum.

Not that it matters, but I'd second both of those candidates.

 

[Bent]

According to Robert's rules nominations should be seconded unless stated otherwise by the by laws. I believe that each nomination requires a second.

 

[Nimrod]

It’s all moot. John X has seconded both candidates. So we’re good.

Nominations are closed.
