Guest Ms Du Posted March 27, 2017 at 02:12 AM Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 at 02:12 AM President of nonprofit member organization (board term 7/1/16 - 6/30/18) resigned March 2017. Bylaws do not state how to replace president mid-term. Current VPs have declined the position. Do we solicit nominations and put forth a ballot to the membership?

Hieu H. Huynh Posted March 27, 2017 at 02:22 AM Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 at 02:22 AM Unless your bylaws specifically provide otherwise, the first vice president automatically becomes president when there's a vacancy in that position.

Robert's Rules of Order specifies that the VP instantly and automatically becomes P upon the sitting president's vacating the office. *** If your VP cannot serve as P, then you next step is to hold a by-election (an in-between election) to fill the vacancy. The rule is, "The body who did the original electing of a given office is the body who is authorized to fill vacancies in that given office."
