George Mervosh Posted May 5, 2011 at 05:06 PM Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 at 05:06 PM If the bylaws allow the President to appoint them without Board approval, yes. Otherwise, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Goldsworthy Posted May 6, 2011 at 02:18 AM Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 at 02:18 AM Can a president remove everyone from all standing committees when he/she takes office, without board approval?Are you asking a question about Pamela Sue's bylaws, or asking a question about Robert's Rules of Order?Under Robert's Rules of Order, no president appoints committees, and no president un-appoints committees.(See RONR for a lone exception about a tellers committee, appointed by a chair, not a president.) “Section 1: ... The president will fill all positions on standing committees.”That's it? That is all your bylaws have to say on the issue?This is YOUR rule.It is NOT a rule lifted from Robert's Rules of Order.I see no reference in your customized rule for a board.Q. Then why do you ask about a "board" when your rule does not allow for board involvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Wynn Posted May 6, 2011 at 03:13 AM Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 at 03:13 AM Josh Pg 440 ? is this saying she has the right to appoint all new members and remove the old ones ? It's saying that the president only has such power if it is given by the bylaws or by the assembly."... if a single person, such as the president, has the power of appointment, he has the power to remove or replace a member so appointed..." - p. 169-170 as paraphrased by Mr. Mervosh and cited by Mr. Tesserbecause our C&bl does not give any term limits to our standing commitee it is my contention they would stay there indefinatelyor until they quit or are removed by the 2/3 vote of the board.New committee members are generally appointed at the beginning of each administration.

Gary c Tesser Posted May 6, 2011 at 09:25 AM Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 at 09:25 AM ok under duties of officers article 7 section 5 the executive board shall: have the power to transact all club bussiness between meetings approve ALL apointments made by the president;act upon charges brought before them ; formulate rules ECT.Pamela Sue, no one on this website forum can interpret your organization's bylaws, especially from snippets; we can only discuss what RONR says. As Mr Goldsworthy put it, in his laid-back west coast way, whatever modifications your bylaws make to what Robert's Rules prescribes will make your situation unique, and the answer unique, which on this website we cannot provide.(Incidentally, the question -- whether a president who appoints with board approval has the authority to remove the apointees on his own -- has come up here in the past. There were partisans on both sides. As I recall, no one was convinced.(... Hmm. I might be disagreeing with Mr Mervosh, then. Rarely a good idea.)[Edited to prudently second-guess myself.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
