Hello Sheri, Chris, and anyone who has wondered about this issue:
I have begun a new thread because the last one had half of the message typed
into the subject line and was rather unwieldy.
Elections are indeed to be held at our next meeting. 
If we were to have a nominating committee, that committee would be formed
and appointed by the president. 
That would be me.
As it happens, over the 20 years I have been involved in NFB's Greater
Cincinnati chapter, 
We have had a nominating committee only once. 
I appointed that committee, as the president appoints all committees. It was
chaired by Rachel and she did a fabulous job.
That was in 2015.
This year, we will hold open elections as we have done most often in the
past. 
The elections will be held at the December 2 meeting and new officers and
board members will begin their terms in January 2018.
Our constitution states that officers and board members begin office after
the meeting at which they are installed. However, since we have never done
formal installations, we have always simply had newly elected officers begin
their work at the next business meeting.
We will be electing the following officers:
President, vice president, secretary and treasurer.
As you may recall, when I became president in 2013, my first action was to
read the constitution. From it, we learned that we should have a board of
three members. Thus, we added that board in February 2014 and have continued
to function with four officers and three directors. Unless there is work to
amend the constitution, I assume we will continue in that fashion. All terms
are for two years. 
In early 2014, I recorded the constitution and shared it immediately with
the chapter. 
I will share a link to the recording in a subsequent message. 
Enjoy the sunshine!
Best,
Deborah
