Guest R.A. Wolford Posted December 26, 2011 at 05:00 PM Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 at 05:00 PM When both the President and Vice-President resign, who should preside over the meeting to elect a new President and Vice-President? Should it be the Treasurer Secretary or just any Board member? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted December 26, 2011 at 05:11 PM Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 at 05:11 PM Commonly it would be the Secretary, p. 459. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ed Posted December 26, 2011 at 05:16 PM Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 at 05:16 PM The Secretary would normally call the meeting to order, elect a Chairman pro tem, and then the group would elect a new President and Vice-President. And make sure to read the the By-laws to see who fills vacancies - the Board or the general membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edgar Posted December 26, 2011 at 05:17 PM Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 at 05:17 PM . . . or just any Board member?And, depending on what your bylaws say (or don't say), the board might have nothing to do with filling the vacancies.

David A Foulkes Posted December 26, 2011 at 05:17 PM Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 at 05:17 PM Commonly it would be the Secretary, p. 459.Yes, but only long enough to elect a chair pro tem who would then preside over the rest of the meeting, including the election of officers. Of course, the bylaws may empower the Board to fill those vacancies instead of needing to hold an election. Those darn bylaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted December 26, 2011 at 05:38 PM Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 at 05:38 PM ...And keep in mind that unless the bylaws say otherwise previous notice is required before the vacancies can be filled. In other words you can't fill the vacancy right after the resignations are accepted.Yes, but only long enough to elect a chair pro tem who would then preside over the rest of the meeting, including the election of officers.Wouldn't the chair pro tem be out of a job as soon as the President or VP are elected?
