  1. Sorry Daniel, I'm now really confused or maybe dense. If bylaws are silent, what does your comment mean - I'm out of luck? is the current president still "president" until the annual meeting (regardless of when it is held since postponed by a national emergency), even though my bylaws do not have any statement about postponement of annual meeting due to natl'l emergency. or does the PE who was elected last year at the annual meeting assume the president position even though the annual meeting has been cancelled due to the pandemic.
  2. Here is the only reference to vacancy in the bylaws The Board will hold regular meetings, receive and review reports, develop policies, and oversee the affairs of the Association. If any Board member (except President) is unable to complete her or his term of office, or if a Board member is absent from three consecutive Board meetings without cause, the Board shall designate a successor for this vacancy until an election is held pursuant to Article 8.
  3. Our bylaws do state that … (under Article elections) Candidates for each open office will be proposed each year by the Nominating Committee. Elected officers shall begin their terms of office at the end of the annual meeting at which they are elected. I understand that we've got some cleanup to be done. I guess what I'm trying to understand is the current president still "president" until the annual meeting (regardless of when it is held since postponed by a national emergency), even though my bylaws do not have any statement about postponement of annual meeting due to natl'l emergency.
  4. . Terms of office will be for three years for the Secretary, Treasurer, and members-at-large. Terms of office for these offices shall be staggered. A President-Elect will be elected each year, and will serve successively as President-Elect, President, and Past President.
  5. We are a non-profit retirement association connected to university. The Nat'l pandemic guidelines affected our annual meeting (election of officers/board members, budget adoption, audit). Our fiscal year is July 1-June 30. Our bylaws state that "Annual meeting will be held in May, Elected officers shall begin their terms of office at the end of the annual meeting at which they are elected. The Nominating Committee shall present its slate at the Annual Membership Meeting of the Association for election by the membership present" Our bylaws to not stipulate "or until their successors are duly elected." We also use a President-elect rotation, so we elect a PE not a President Some questions: 1. If the annual meeting is postponed to, lets say, either late summer or early fall , do the current officers/board remain in their positions until successors are elected? 2. Is this assumed if bylaws do not specifically state "and shall serve until the conclusion of the following annual convention or until their successors are duly elected"? 3. Do bylaws need to include a statement, "In a state or national emergency, declared by the Governor of ...(name state) or by the President of the United States, the board of directors shall set up machinery to carry on the business of the association".
