Section 8 - Nomination and Election Procedures

At least thirty (30) days before the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors shall require the
President to appoint a Nominating Committee consisting of one (1) member from each Division.
At the Division meetings before the Annual Meeting, the Nominating committee Members shall
meet with the Division Directors and the members participating in the Division meetings. They
shall provide to each Division a list of Officers and Directors whose offices are vacant, and
receive and list the nominations from these Division Meetings.

At the Division meetings, each Division shall nominate and elect a Director for its own Division.
The election shall be subject to ratification by the membership at the Annual meeting.

All nominees must be present at the Annual Meeting to be eligible for election, or, if unable to be
present, must submit a letter of acceptance of the nomination to the Secretary/Treasurer. All
members nominated to be an Officer or Director must be Annual or Life Members of the
Association for at least five (5) consecutive years. The nominees for Division Director must
have experience or competitive classification within that Division’s shooting discipline. The
Nominating Committee shall verify the qualifications of every nominee. Since all qualified
voting members will have been asked for nominations by the Nominating Committee at each
Division Meeting preceding the Annual Meeting, there shall be no nominations from the floor at
the Annual Meeting.

The Chairman selected by the Nominating Committee shall submit these nominees to the voting
membership at the Annual Meeting. If there are more nominees than vacant positions, the vote
shall be done by secret ballot.

Officers and Directors shall be elected by a majority vote of those members present who are
entitled to vote. Nominees to uncontested vacancies shall be declared elected by unanimous
ballot.
