2. Electing the committee
In most cases, committee members are elected at an annual general meeting. The procedures for the election of management committee members and office bearers should be set out in the rules of the association.
See, for example, the Harmony Community Development Association's rules:
|
10.1 Management Committee members will be elected at the annual general meeting for a one year term. 10.2 A member standing for election must be nominated and seconded by two members of the Association. 10.3 Nominations must be in writing and signed by the nominator, seconders and nominee. 10.4 Nominations must be sent to the Secretary not less than 14 days before the meeting at which the elections are to be held. 10.5 No member may stand for election who has served for 6 consecutive terms immediately before the election. |
Commerce has produced a set of model rules for associations that also include provisions for the election of management committee members.

View the current model rules. The committee election provisions are found in Rule 10. |
