Guest Barbara Murray Posted February 24, 2018 at 12:17 AM Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 at 12:17 AM Situation: Club has an upcoming Board election. Board positions are 2 yrs and only half the positions change each year. Question: Our current Vice President is not up for election this year but wishes to run for President which is open for this year. Will the current VP need to resign from that position to become a candidate for President on the ballot or can the VP remain on the Board until after the election should that person lose the run for President. The VP will not be put on the ballot by the nominating committee, but will run from the floor. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. J. Posted February 24, 2018 at 12:55 AM Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 at 12:55 AM He can remain on the ballot, unless your bylaws say otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Barbara Murray Posted February 24, 2018 at 01:02 AM Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 at 01:02 AM But can the VP remain in his present position until the election is held or must he resign as VP to run as President? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Barbara Murray Posted February 24, 2018 at 01:04 AM Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 at 01:04 AM But can the VP remain in his position as VP, keeping in mind that the VP position is not subject to change in the upcoming election, or must he resign as VP to be put on the ballot for President, then making the VP position open for replacement?

jstackpo Posted February 24, 2018 at 01:23 AM Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 at 01:23 AM Sure, he can run for Pres and stay VP. If he looses, he remains VP. (Probably in an awkward political position, but that is his problem; not a parliamentary one) If he wins, he resigns his VP position and that vacancy is filled in whatever manner your bylaws specify.

jstackpo Posted February 24, 2018 at 01:25 AM Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 at 01:25 AM True, but... being Pres and Vice-pres is a bit dicey, to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hieu H. Huynh Posted February 24, 2018 at 08:22 PM Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 at 08:22 PM Ultimately it is up to the organization to decide whether this person could be president and vice president. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that doesn't preclude us pointing out that it would be a pretty stupid idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
