Thank you!

So, technically, they have until the assembly reconvenes to withdraw any stated resignations–written or verbal–then, right?

One thing I forgot to mention is that she sent a message to never be contacted again-by text, phone or email. By law, no "Your resignation has been accepted" correspondence could have bee sent to her because of this request on her part. In this case, how then would it have ever been formally accepted?

Thank you.

Thanks, George. I have read that before and I don't think it addresses this situation because once she verbally quit, she only reappeared over a week later after hearing that the President (who received her resignation) left the organization. She reappeared as if nothing happened and has regained her position (which now, arguably, is also the role of President until another can be elected, since that office is now open). Also notable: it is not common practice for this group to formally "Accept" resignations once given.

If the resignation was verbal and never "Accepted" in writing, does that count as an official resignation just by receipt or not (the bylaws state resignation must be given in writing to the secretary, but it is the secretary who verbally resigned and now wants her position back)?

I have a spin-off question: if the resignation was verbal and never "Accepted" in writing, does that count as an official resignation or not (the bylaws state resignation must be given in writing to the secretary, but it is the secretary who verbally resigned and now wants her position back)? I can start a separate thread if preferred.

im saved by the bell! thanks

can you explain why 5 instead of 4? thanks!

unfortunately, yes.

my brain just went to mush reading this. joking, but kinda not–i suffered a concussion last week and dangit i cannot process this right now. thank you for the info but i may not be able to respond right away!

The bylaws would have to be edited since they currently dictate that the board's quorum is 6. the bylaws were authored by an outdated board, and adopted by the membership years ago.

Yes, appointments are an option, but literally no one will accept the appointments for various reasons. It's a catch-22.

That's very helpful. I could not agree more with your final statement. Even if we do not dissolve, we need to completely redo the Bylaws, as the original authors used apparently no wisdom at all and have caused us (mostly ME) quite a few headaches. Thank you!
