At each regular Board meeting in November, the Board will appoint a Nominating Committee consisting of at least 3 Members, none of whom may be Board members seeking re-election. At least one member of the Nominating Committee should be a non-Board member. The Nominating Committee will canvas the eligible Members and nominate Members for each of the open Board member positions that need to be filled at the next election. At the regular December and January Membership meetings, the Nominating Committee will announce the names of the Members nominated as of that time, and the Members may also nominate from the floor additional candidates for any of the open Board positions at those meetings. After taking all nominations from the floor at the January Membership meeting, nominations will be closed. A candidate for an Officer position may also be a candidate for a Trustee position, and in the event that person is elected as an Officer, that persons votes as Trustee will be disregarded and not counted in any way. Section 2 Voting. No later than 30 days after nominations are closed, the Nominating Committee will prepare and mail or email (or provide by other electronic means) to all voting Memberships ballots that list the open Board member positions, and the names of all candidates for each position. The ballots will contain a return date that is no more than 7 days before the March Members meeting by which all Members must return their ballots to the Nominating Committee in order to be counted. At any time after the return date, the chairperson of the Nominating Committee will call and hold a Nominating Committee meeting for the purpose of opening and counting the ballots. No candidate running for a Board position will be allowed to count ballots. A plurality of all ballots cast for a candidate for an Officer position will elect that candidate to that office, and the 5 candidates for Trustee who have the most votes will constitute the current years Trustee positions on the Board. The next 3 Trustee candidates with the greatest number of votes will be alternate Trustees. The President will announce the names of all elected Board members at the March Members meeting. The new Board members will take office at the regular April Board meeting. The Board will retain the ballots or electronic results (as applicable) in the principal office for one year after the election.
