J. Clinton Posted April 4, 2017 at 05:26 PM Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 at 05:26 PM I am the founder of a new club. When starting a new club of this particular organization, the founder/coordinator selects the officers who serve until the end of the fiscal year when new officers would be elected by the membership. Can the officers "selected/appointed" at the inception of the club be voted out prior to the end of their term if they were never voted in to begin with?

Richard Brown Posted April 4, 2017 at 06:21 PM Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 at 06:21 PM I think the answer would depend mostly on your bylaws. The exact wording on terms of office is important.

Q. Can the officers "selected/appointed" at the inception of the club be voted out prior to the end of their term if they were never voted in to begin with? Whatever bylaws apply at that moment will tell you whether that is possible. • So, if there are no bylaws, then the person in charge remains in charge. • So, if there are bylaws, then the defined term-of-office of the officers will likely dictate how "easy" it is to remove a sitting officer. -- Or other clause in the bylaws which empower/cripple the rights and powers of all parties concerned. *** Q. Do you have bylaws? Will you have bylaws by then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
