Guest Sue Posted June 8, 2011 at 04:30 PM Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 at 04:30 PM If both President and Vice President are taken out of an organization at the same time, can the Board appoint a President Pro Tem and must that person be from the board or can it be a general member?

If there is no provisions in the bylaws for filling vacancies the General Membership will need to elect a new President and VP (previous notice of the elections must be given for the elections to be valid).

But this is only for the duration of the meeting and is not a "temporary" or "interim" president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I avoid the use of "President Pro Tem" (as in the original post). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
