    Hello, We have an upcoming AGM. At which time we will be receiving nominations and signing people up for for the coming years EC. One vexacious resident  who has often been on the committee before, is not only unhelpful and does nothing in way shape or form; she goes out of her way to be difficult and to block or derail any attempts to get things done around the block.

    Question: If they are “nominated” for the EC, is there anyway to have a “No” vote and therefore not have them on the EC? Thanks in advance, N

    The process is actually quite straightforward.

    There is a legal obligation to have a motion to decide the number of people you want on your executive committee.  Make sure you have a “ticket” that includes everybody you want on the EC and nobody you don’t.  Set the number of seats on the EC to accommodate the poeple on your ticket and no one else.

    If possible, sound out other owners to see if they want to be on and to get their support. But make sure you have the numbers beforehand to a) set the correct number of seats on the committee and b) elect your ticket.

    If anyone at the meeting objects to this and seems to have support – “Mrs X wants to be on so we should have another seat” – tell the meeting that the entire EC ticket will withdraw their nomination because the EC  will be totally dysfunctional otherwise.

    However, if you have done your legwork previously, this should not even arise and Mrs X will be blindsided, as they say on Survivor (the perfect illustration of how to run an EC).
