Richard - Yes it was incorporated into Our Bylaws which state - "In the event of a vacancy of an office or committee director, the Board of Directors can appoint a member at a membership meeting to fill that immediate position to the end of term.". There was discussion during a Board Meeting that once the member who was appointed to the sub committee reached the 6 month requirement that the position would be reopened for nominations. If at that time there were no other nominee's she would be unopposed but an election would be held if there was another nominee. I think that would be appropriate.\ thank you

We are a small Non Profit Club. 1) The previous Board of Directors created a Facebook page for the Board where they communicate and vote on small business in a casual setting. A few new Board members were elected recently. One of them as been creating chaos and quoting Robert's Rules of Order. It is my understanding that Robert's Rules does not govern Out of Meeting voting and to do so it would have to be adopted into the Bylaws. Is this correct? 2) We have recently had a Vacancy on the Board. Our Bylaws states that a nominee must be a member for 6 months hold a Board position. We only had one nominee but this member did met this 6 month requirement. The BOD chose to place this member as a sub committee member to the position to assist. A member who meets the 6 month requirement has since reached out to the BOD. Our Bylaws do allow the BOD to appoint a member at an All Members Meeting to fill the vacancy. The BOD has motioned to appoint this member and received a majority vote. The same person creating chaos is saying that the person appointed to the sub committee would be placed in the Board position once they meet their 6 month requirement. The majority of the Board says that the position is still vacant because we did not have a nominee who met the 6 month requirement when the position was opened. The majority of the Board also says member who met this requirement can be appointed as stated in the Bylaws. Is this correct? Thank you for your time and assistance.
