  1. Haha, maybe that is the exact reason that they were so generally written as that is pretty much how this group flies is by the seat of their pants. It was stated that the current officers would remain until the January meeting even tho that is not what the bylaws state. LOL Should be an interesting meeting on Monday. Thank you again.
  2. Long story short I was dealing with ovarian cancer and thus meetings were run by the VP. The bylaws state "A nominating committee will present a slate at the November meeting. This did not happen. We did not meet in Dec. I did preside over the Nov. meeting and since there was not a nominating committee designated, we agreed to leave the officers as is until the Jan. meeting at which time the current or new officers would be sworn in so come prepared to volunteer or with names of potential candidates to nominate ( meaning anyone from the group could nominate). Terms of office "They shall be elected yearly for service from Jan. 1st to Dec. 31st." The very last line of our bylaws " These by-laws may be amended by a majority vote of the members present". May I ask what the "normal" wording is for amending the bylaws? Thank you for the information on where to purchase RONR. IF I am lucky enough to remain on the board I will be purchasing a copy. My gut feeling is that a select few members want to change these bylaws as they are not in favor of me and this is their way of getting me out as they also want to change the bylaws so that no one can vote in the election unless their current membership is paid in full which means that we will have to start with collection of membership dues which also would fall into the new business category. In the past the dues were collected at the end of meetings so as not to hold up other individuals while the process took place. My biggest fear as someone who was only in the group for 2 months before they elected me president is that I am finding things that have not been done correctly and they are not liking the changes that comes with my position. Again thank you for your help.
  3. Thank you Godelfan for your quick response. Since I am new to this I was going by what the group (since its inception) has used for terminology. So thank you for the lesson of unfinished business. The bylaws can be amended by a majority vote of the group. Thus no notice would be required then correct? Where would I find a p. 121 to view? Since this has only been discussed outside the group, no previous notice has been given to the group. The meeting is in 2 days thus not enough time to give notice. I am not understanding well your last paragraph. If the election is not unfinished business (we discussed at last meeting that the election and swearing in of officers would take place at this meeting) would we consider it new business? Therefore half of the meeting would be run with current officers and midway through when we do new business, then the new officers would immediately take over? Sorry to be so full of questions. Thanks again for your help.
