As per our WBA By-Laws:

SECTION A: Nomination Committee Process and Election of Executive Board Offices A Nominating Committee will be appointed by the President with at least one (1) and not more than two (2) current Board Members and must include a representative that is not already a member of the Executive Board. The President is not a member of this committee. The non-board member should be the Chair of the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee is responsible for filling all offices of the Executive Board. The Nominating Committee will announce the proposed slate of officers 10 days prior to the SWIM TEAM’s annual meeting, via the SWIM TEAM website and via the SWIM TEAM email distribution list of the membership. Additional nominations may be made from the membership during the 10 days preceding the annual meeting. These additional nominations must be made in writing to the chair of the Nominating committee (with the proposed candidate’s prior consent). Any additional nominations to the slate of officers will be added to the list that will be reviewed at the annual SWIM TEAM meeting. No nominations from the floor will be allowed during the annual SWIM TEAM meeting. The election process for the offices of the Executive Board will be conducted by someone who is not a current or nominated board member and will be determined by upheld hands based on a simple majority of members present at the annual SWIM TEAM meeting.

SECTION B: Annual Swim Team Meeting Version Date: April 30, 2015, Page 10 of 12. The Annual Swim Team Meeting will be held at the close of each season, as set by the Executive Board. At all general membership meetings, the members present shall constitute a quorum, each member shall be entitled to one vote.
