Hi,

We have a treasurer who wants to resign.  When he submits the resignation letter.  Who takes his place?  We have nothing in our bylaws stating what happens when the treasurer resigns...  

From what I'm reading, is that the quorum is met, but due to some vacancies, still need that fixed number (post #6 for example) for majority vote.  If unable to meet that majority, the board wouldn't be able to get the required number to make decisions....

RONR (11th ed.), p 403, * (bottom of page -- footnote)

"In the case of a body having a fixed membership -- for example, a permanent board --- it is also possible to define a voting requirement as a majority of the fixed membership, which is greater than a majority of the entire membership if there are vacancies on the board.  Thus, in a board whose membership is fixed at 12, if 2 members have died and their successors have not been named, a majority of the entire membership is 6, and a majority of the fixed membership is 7.  Where a majority of the fixed membership is required for a decision, the body cannot act if half or more of the membership positions are vacant."

Does not talk about quorum, per say... but does talk about voting with board vacancies.
