Each Regional Society shall determine whether its representative to the nominating committee shall be elected by members of the Regional Society or shall by appointed by its Board of Directors. The term of office of each Regional Society representation shall be two years. The nominating committee shall nominate one candidate for each open position.

There will not be nominations from the floor during the biennial meetings of members. In an election at the biennial meeting of the members, the candidate for each office receiving the most votes shall be elected.”

“Any action that may be taken at any regular or special meeting of members may be taken without a meeting. If an action is taken without a meeting, the Society must distribute a written ballot to every member entitled to vote on the matter. The ballot must state the proposed action, provide an opportunity to specify approval or disapproval of any proposal, and provide a reasonable time within which to return the ballot to the Society. Such ballot may be taken by electronic transmission but only for a matter referred by the Board of Directors. Approval by written ballot is valid only when the number of votes cast by ballot within the time period specified equals or exceeds the quorum required to be present at a meeting authorizing the action, and the number of approvals equals or exceeds the number of votes that would be required to approve at a meeting at which the total number of votes cast was the same as the number of votes cast by ballot.”
