I just learned of this nominating process today. I can only offer my take on why people are hesitant:
1. Meetings are at inconvenient times;
2. They have had less-than-positive experiences with the PTA;
3. They may not know the other parents well enough to nominate them;
4. The process sounds intimidating, almost like a popularity competition-which most mature adults tend to avoid.
It does not sound appealing to me considering the perceived chaos on out PTA but I am still going to run for an office even if I have to nominate myself.
