bobby101 Posted April 13, 2015 at 04:36 PM Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 at 04:36 PM I hope you can help. Last year, in August or September--I think, I read a posting from a member whose organization's board was not following the by-laws despite efforts by the members to address/correct the problem. The question was posed to the RONR forum and someone (I don't think she was a member, as I recall) spoke of the same problem within her organization and offered the solution that she said worked for her group. She said that they had the club's lawyer review the situation and he advised the board of the dire consequences (possibly losing their 501© status, a lawsuit, etc.) of not obeying the by-laws. She said that this lawyerly advice caused that board to start following the by-laws. I tried to go back through the posts for that time period but was unsuccessful in locating this particular posting. Is there a way to do this or can someone help me? Thank you, bobby101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the "Search" function if you can remember a word or phrase that might be unique (or nearly so) to that post. Or you can scroll down through the list of topics until you get to August. Somewhere around p.21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobby101 Posted April 13, 2015 at 07:14 PM Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 at 07:14 PM Josh: Muchas gracias. That's exactly what I was looking for. I had gone through the postings at that time and was unable to find it. If it's not too much trouble, can you tell me how you did it? And, again thanks so much for your help. bobby101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
