Guest Paula N Posted April 5, 2017 at 01:26 PM Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 at 01:26 PM To clarify a earlier question: Roberts Rules re: Actions that Cannot be Reversed a,b,c says "unexecuted parts of action can be reversed/rescinded". A bod member resigned. Accepted by board and posted as "effective 5/27/17". Bod member then changed mind. Board accepted and cancelled resignation. Now members are saying/ complaining the bod didnt follow Roberts'. Is the reversal valid under the above as "unexecuted parts of action" since the effective date hasnt arrived? Thank you!

Bruce Lages Posted April 5, 2017 at 02:37 PM Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 at 02:37 PM For a resignation to become effective, it must be accepted by the body empowered to fill the resulting vacancy. If your board is the proper body to fill this vacancy, then once the resignation was accepted (and, for good measure, then posted), it was no longer possible to reverse this action since it has been carried out completely. If the director who resigned wishes his position back, the board could either re-appoint him - if that is how your board vacancies are filled - or he could be nominated for the position if an election is required. Note, though, that if it is not the board which fills vacancies, then its acceptance of the resignation may be invalid. This would depend on how the board's powers are stated in your bylaws.
