Guest Scott Kaletha Posted April 8, 2011 at 12:40 AM Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 at 12:40 AM If the president steps down and, in doing so, asks for another executive board memeber to fill that position, does the appointed member have to go through an election process a year later. I thought they did. We have a Pop Warner president (HLA administrator) that has to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If President Obama had to resign would you think that (now) President Biden would get to serve until 2017? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a Pop Warner president (HLA administrator) that has to go.Is there something about a Pop Warner president that allows him to step down and name his successor, as opposed to the Vice President taking over?

Rev Ed Posted April 8, 2011 at 01:48 AM Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 at 01:48 AM If the President steps down, then the Vice President (or Senior Vice President, or First Vice President) becomes President automatically (unless the By-laws state otherwise.) The President cannot simply appoint his/her successor.A vacancy for a Vice President position would require the vacancy to be filled according to the By-laws.

We have a Pop Warner president (HLA administrator) that has to go.If not specified, appointments (presuming they are permitted in the bylaws at all) would be for the remaining unexpired term that the original occupant was elected for. Sometimes, bylaws specify that the appointment only lasts until the next Annual Meeting, at which time an election is held to fill the remaining unexpired term (if any) that the original occupant was elected for. But it never extends the term to a new end date, unless you have some very spooky bylaws.And don't you have a Vice President? How did this guy simply "ask another member" to fill in?

David A Foulkes Posted April 10, 2011 at 06:22 PM Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 at 06:22 PM We have a 1st / 2nd vice president on the board.When the President's resignation is accepted, the 1st VP becomes the President, the 2nd VP becomes the 1st VP, and you now have a vacancy in the 2nd VP office. Do your bylaws have a provision for filling vacancies in offices? If so, that's how it's handled. If not, you would need to hold a special election, most likely of the membership, which would require notice. The person elected as 2nd VP would fill out the remainder of the term for that office.

When the president resigns, all the vice presidents move up one chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
