Guest Jeanette M Posted June 25, 2011 at 05:53 PM Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 at 05:53 PM Per our Bylaws, If a Board member resigns his position before ending his term, he is to be replaced/appointed and approved by the Board. Does the appointed VC use the title "Acting" Vice Comoordore since he was not elected by the General Membership, or does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not acting in the place of the elected vice commodore; rather, he is the vice commodore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the appointed Vice Commodore use the title "Acting" Vice Commdore, since he was not elected by the General Membership, or does it matter?No.It is a popular "myth" that the appointee who fills the balance of the term of office is to be referred to as "acting _____" (as if he/she were not really in office).Once you are in office, the fact that you got their by the back door (via an appointment process) instead of the front door (i.e., via a general election during the natural election cycle), is of no parliamentary consequence.***Example from American history.Gerald Ford was a real, honest-to-goodness president.Gerald Ford was never labeled, "acting president" in any official sense.
