Thank you

My Chair will be absent at my next Board meeting.  The Vice Chair will be taking on the role of Chair for that meeting.  Do I refer to the Vice Chair as Chair Pro Tem or Vice Chair?

Thank you Mr. Novosielski.

Thank you Mr. Martin.  I understand that now that you explained it.  

What a relief!  Thank you so much Mr. Katz.  I truly appreciate your assistance on this.  Now all I have to do is convince them they don't have to abstain just because they weren't there.  I will print out your explanation.  😊

I need help with this topic and don't see a final answer above.  I had a regular meeting in September of my seven-member board with only four members in attendance; one was an alternate.  At the next meeting in November, my Minutes were prepared and on the agenda for approval.  My By-Laws state a quorum is a majority out of four.  There were only three members from the September meeting in attendance at the November meeting.  There were six members total present at the November meeting.  The Minutes were pulled from the agenda and continued to the next meeting scheduled for December because there were only three members that attended the September meeting at the November meeting and the other members present (at the November meeting, abstained from voting on approval since they had not attended the meeting), so they were not approved in November.

I may have an issue in December where I still won't have a quorum of the four who attended in September so the Minutes can finally be approved.  

What do I do?  Can I ask the fourth absentee to submit a written vote for the December meeting if she is absent in December as expected?  Can I file the Minutes without having them approved? I'm afraid if I push this off to our first meeting next year I won't have the same Board members due to the election.
