In our regional club our by-laws stated that we were to have a nominating committee which chooses a slate and then we take nominations from the floor. In the past every year someone got their feelings hurt and it caused many unforgivable feuds for our new club because the nominating committee didn't choose them or renominate them from a position they were currently in. Therefore we have just amended our by-laws that we will now only take nominations from the floor, and if we get in a jam and don't have someone for the position the new board will fill the position. It got so that noone wanted to be on the nominating committee for fear of the repercussions from their choices. While it was only a suggested slate and we still could nominate from the floor and vote at election time,,,,we nearly had someone come to blows over this nonsense. Unbelievable how much harm can come from this, so now that i have gotten this change hopefully the split in the club and groups will start to heal and come together for the good of the club instead of petty nonsense. The PC is much bigger scale but it is possible that these problems could be bypassed by only accepting nominees by petition. Not sure how well it would work for the PC,,,,,but honestly there are always hurt feelings and finger pointing when there is a nominating committee involved...................
