I actually gave the club some bad information.  The current election should be officers.  Board election is in November.  But there's no reason they can't be swapped.

This is confusing...

SECTION 2. COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD AND TERM OF OFFICE 

A.  At the first called meeting of the membership of this Corporation, the members in good standing shall nominate and elect five (5) members in good standing to serve as Directors for one year. In succeeding years the membership in good standing will nominate, and elect five (5) members in good standing to serve as Directors of the Corporation. The one-year term shall begin on the first day of January of each year. A director may serve consecutive terms with no limitations of the number of terms prescribed by the Corporation. 
B.  The Directors shall have an organizational meeting to elect Officers of the Corporation by the fifteenth of December to provide transition of the Board.

It looks like the current (not new) Directors (board of directors members) are to elect the officers for the next year, and then on January 1, the new Directors take office. It doesn't say when the Directors are to be nominated and elected, but it must be before January 1.

But then, we have this:

ARTICLE 6
OFFICERS OF THE CORPORATION
SECTION 1. ELECTION AND DUTIES OF OFFICERS
At the organizational meeting of the new Board of Directors, the Board shall elect the President, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer of the Corporation. Officers so elected shall serve a term of one (1) year.

Here it says the "new Board of Directors" are to elect the officers. Maybe "new" only applies to the original board at the beginning of the club.

New Board of Directors might be interpreted as those who take office at 00:01AM on January 1 since the Old Board of Directors are no longer in office, whether it be the same persons, a mix of new and old persons, or all new persons.  It's just a New Board.  Renewed at Midnight, December 31 of each year. 

You are right, Pat.  The Old Board certifies or if necessary, appoints the incoming officers for the coming year.  Then the New Board assumes office January 1 and the New Officers take office at the first business meeting of the year.

So, voting for board members happens at the November meeting?

Yes, then the qualifying for officers begins.  Usually elected by the December meeting.

It's hard to vote for 5 board members, with only 1 person's name.

If you don't qualify, I don't know who would.  I sure hope you qualify.  Oh.  You mean volunteer?

Just over a week to go and no one has spoken up, other than Pat and I.  Neither has anyone submitted any votes.
