seconders
Those endorsing motions
A seconder is someone who formally supports a motion, nomination, or proposal after another person has introduced it.
In parliamentary procedure and formal meetings, a motion typically requires a seconder before it can be discussed or voted upon.
The motion failed for lack of a seconder.
The role ensures that at least two people consider an idea worth the group's time before proceedings advance.
