After a discussion on a package of changes to the bylaws during the annual meeting of a small club, the club president simply asked for those in favor and then if there was any objections then closed the meetng. No one spoke up and indictated that they had a problem with the new rules. Everyone assumed the new rules packaged passed.
He did not ask for any motion or seconds to approve the changes to the bylaws.
The club did pass a rule stating that changes could only be made to the bylaws during the annual meeting.
A couple of days after the meeting, the secretary (who is against the changes), informed us that the vote was invalid because no motions were made.
What do I do?
Is the vote really null and void? Do I a have to call for a re-vote? Or because we passed a rule allowing for changes only at annual meetng, do I have to wait until the next year's annual meeting to consider the changes?
