Nominations for the Committee positions due for re-election must be received in writing by the Secretary (see page 4 for address) at least 15 days before the AGM. 6 E.F.-U.K.
The following change to the BEFA Constitution is proposed by the Committee for acceptance at the 2006 A.G.M. Clause 7 – Existing wording 7) Election of the Committee. The officers of the Committee will be elected at the Annual General Meeting of the Association. Persons nominated for election must confirm in writing that they are prepared to serve if elected and must be proposed and seconded by paid up members. Nominations must be received by the Secretary at least fifteen days before the date of the A.G.M. In the event of insufficient nominations being received to fill all positions on the Committee, the elected members of the Committee will have the power to co-opt any eligible member who is prepared to serve. The problem with this system is that it is very cumbersome and tends to discourage nominations. This is particularly true in that we cannot accept nominations from the floor at our AGM which is the one occasion when we might expect to find volunteers. Under our present rules we can only co-opt such volunteers for a year prior to their nomination at the following AGM which also puts their election out of phase with our biannual pattern. We would like to simplify this procedure such that we can also accept nominations from the floor of the AGM to fill vacancies (supported by a proposer and seconder) and that if successful, such nominees could begin to serve on the committee immediately. The Committee therefore proposes that clause 7) be modified as follows:- 7) Election of the Committee. The officers of the Committee will be elected at the Annual General Meeting of the Association. The Secretary should normally receive nominations at least fifteen days before the date of the A.G.M. Persons nominated for election in this way must confirm in writing that they are prepared to serve if elected and must be proposed and seconded by paid up members. In the event of insufficient advance nominations being received to fill all positions on the Committee, the committee may appeal for nominations for these unfilled positions from the floor. Provided such nominees are proposed and seconded by paid-up members, and are present at the meeting to accept nomination, then they may also be elected by majority vote of the members present. Should this procedure still fail to fill the vacancies the elected members of the Committee will have the power to co-opt any eligible member who is prepared to serve. E.F.-U.K. 7
