Adding a Nomination

Modules > Committee > Nominations > Add Nomination

Individuals can be nominated to serve on a committee or to hold a committee position within the committee. Once a nomination has been made it will be processed by the committee. This may involve a single person approving or rejecting the nominee or a vote by the committee.

Once a nominee is approved, they are transferred to a participant/approved status and begin their term on the committee.
