#self-nominate

• To self-designate — To appoint, delegate, or choose oneself for an official function, mission, committee, or role, through the exercise of a personal right, a sovereign decision, or abusively, without waiting for an appointment, a vote, or a formal confirmation from an administrative body or a superior authority.
• To nominate oneself — To propose oneself as a candidate for an office, dignity, mission, award, or hierarchical position, without waiting to be nominated by another person or a formal group; to consciously and autonomously present one's availability and skills for assuming a leadership role or a structural responsibility. In an organizational context, it reflects a proactive assertive behavior associated with self-efficacy and career management.
