Notice of Director Nomination

The Notice of Director Nomination is a letter used to recommend a party as director of a company. A member or director of a company can nominate another party to act as a director. A company director is a high-ranking officer of a company who participates in the management of the company. Any adult individual or company can be elected a director. However, if the appointed director is a company, the company must select a representative to vote on its behalf.

Note that this document is not an appointment letter but merely recommends a party as a director as the nomination is still subject to vote or election by the members or board of directors at the company meeting.
