Nomination Process Bylaws

At a regular meeting two weeks prior to the meeting for the election of officers the presiding officers shall ask for nominations by members of the club for president, secretary and treasurer. The nominations may be presented by a nominating committee or by members from the floor. The nominating committee shall consist of the president, the president-elect, and the most recent past president still active in the club, and a member nominated and elected by a majority vote of the membership. The nominations duly made shall be place on a ballot in alphabetical order under each office and shall be voted for at a regular meeting no later than December 31. The candidates for president, secretary and treasurer receiving a majority of the votes will be declared elected to their respective offices. The candidate for president elected in such balloting shall be the president-nominee. The president-nominee shall take the title of president-elect on the first day of July next following the election, and shall serve as an officer during that year. On July 1 immediately following that year, the president-elect shall assume office as president. The secretary and treasurer so chosen shall assume office on the first day of July following their election.
