Regular meetings

[Guest Carolyn]

The president wants to change the date of the next regular meeting with 6 days' notice. Can he do this? I thought the VP presided if the pres could not attend.

Nothing in RONR grants him that authority.

You are correct. So unless the bylaws (or some other superior rule) grants the President the authority to reschedule a meeting you should go ahead and have the meeting when it is supposed to be. I am sure the President likes to think otherwise but I have confidence that you all can hold down the fort without him there.

Thanks...I am the secretary and the pres asked me to send out the notice re change of meeting date.

Nothing in RONR allows for the rescheduling of meetings. That authority would have to come from your bylaws or other governing documents.
