The President shall appoint a nominating committee from the general membership of this corporation, which shall consist of not less than three general members, one of whom shall be designated as chair. Notice of nominations being sought shall be mailed to the membership, and any general member in good standing may submit nominations. This committee shall receive nominations for directors, and shall report to the membership, not later than thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled annual meeting, the names of all persons who have been so nominated. Nothing herein contained shall prevent nominations from the floor up to and including the date of the annual meeting of the membership. All of said nominations shall be with the prior consent of the nominee. In the event the Board of Directors determines not to have an annual meeting of the members and in lieu of the election of directors at the annual meeting of members, the Board of Directors shall develop and send a nomination list of potential directors equal in number to the number of vacant positions on the Board of Directors to the general members requesting a vote of either approval or disapproval of the nominees on the list. Each general member listed as a nominee on the nomination list shall qualify as a director and be elected to the Board of Directors by a simple majority of votes actually returned from the general members, whether by facsimile, mail, or electronic mail, indicating approval of the nomination list. In the event the nomination list is not so approved, the Board of Directors shall mail a list of all general members to each general member to designate the directors to fill each vacant position on the Board of Directors. The general member receiving the greatest number of designations, subject to his or her consent, shall qualify as a director and be elected to the Board of Directors. Any vacancy occurring in the office of a director by reason of death, resignation or other cause, shall be filled, in the Board of Director's discretion, by an appointee of the majority of the remaining directors, even if less than a quorum. Such director so appointed shall be confirmed by the Board of Directors at the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors to complete the remainder of the term so filled." |
