Description:
The 2024 Chair is the presiding officer. Once the officers are elected, the 2025 Chair will reconvene the meeting and continue the annual organizational activities.
The 2024 Chair will call THREE TIMES for nominations per office. As per Roberts Rules, no 2nds are needed for nominations. Any board member may move to close nominations at any time. Seconds and votes are needed upon final resolution of items. Motions may be introduced to close any nominations. If only one person is nominated for any office, 2024 Chair will move to the next office before calling for a vote. If more than one person is nominated for an office, the Chair will call for a vote on that office before moving on. If all four offices only have one nomination, the Chair will call for a motion and second to cast a unanimous ballot. The total election of officers is governed by the Minnesota open meeting law. All non-unanimous votes will be disclosed in the recorded minutes. The Chair will allow time before closing each nomination to allow time for every Director to comment. The 2024 Chair is the current presiding officer. Once the officers are elected, the 2025 Chair will reconvene the meeting and continue the annual organizational activities.
