  1. If he was elected to VP, and the bylaws say the VP automatically becomes president if the president leaves, hasn't he lost the role he was elected into already? So if he resigned the president role, he'd be resigning from the board. Am I interpreting wrong?
  2. Abstentions do not count, so the vote was 3-1, which is clearly a majority.
  3. There are many organizations that do this. 6 people on a ballot running for 5 openings on Nom Com. Person with the highest votes is the chair.
  4. We list guests in a separate section of the minutes, but we're a small group. Members Present vs Guests Present
  5. Along those lines, if the bylaws state that someone is appointed for a set time to a defined role, can they be replaced at any time or do they have to go through some sort of disciplinary process like elected people to remove them?
  6. I have a question, and I'll try to make sure I get all the information into this first post to reduce questions from those who may know best. Special Committees.... Set for a specific purpose and a set time frame, right? So, if a special committee is created that will span multiple terms of office, can future presiding officers change the makeup of that committee if it was not created by them? In our case, a special committee has been created for a long term fundraising project (that won't actually start until 2026, but is in the planning stages currently). I'm concerned that future State Regents might have the power to change the Chair(s) of the committee just because they don't like those currently assigned to the project. Our bylaws state: Section 4. Other Committees, standing or special, shall be appointed by the State Regent as the SBOM may authorize as necessary to carry on the work of the Society. (State Regent is basically like State President. SBOM stands for State Board of Management.)
  7. 48:2 Content of the Minutes. In an ordinary society, the minutes should contain mainly a record of what was done at the meeting, not what was said by the members. The minutes must never reflect the secretary’s opinion, favorable or otherwise, on anything said or done. 48:3 To modify the rules governing what is regularly to be included in the minutes requires adoption of a special rule of order, although a majority vote may direct the inclusion of specific additional information in the minutes of a particular meeting.

  8. Would they work together as a single subcommittee? I'm not sure how you could have 2 subcommittees working simultaneously on something but not together.
  9. In your budget or your financials? Receiving the grant is a deposit and should be recorded. When you spend the money on grant related items, it should be listed as debits. I'm not sure how you mean that there's no method to address them in your organization.
  10. Unless the bylaws allow voting by proxy? In which case, the bylaws would also have to specify if there's a limit.
  11. He could make a motion as an individual, but I doubt he can speak on behalf of the committee without a vote.
  12. With a webinar setting, there is no interaction other than a chat feature (if enabled). I don't think this would meet the requirements of RONR. If it was a Zoom meeting with everyone able to speak (when un-muted and recognized by the chair), that might be different.
