Guest Bill Posted February 14, 2012 at 03:30 AM Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 at 03:30 AM What if the Chairman resigns and the bylaws are silent on what happens. Does the vice chairman automatically ascend to the presidency or should a special election be held? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David A Foulkes Posted February 14, 2012 at 03:32 AM Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 at 03:32 AM If the bylaws are silent on a vacancy in the chairman's (president) office specifically, the vice-chairman (vice-president) automatically ascends and you have a vacancy in the vice-chairman's office. If your bylaws detail how to fill vacancies, they should be followed. Otherwise a special election would be held to elect a new vice-chairman.

Rev Ed Posted February 14, 2012 at 05:02 AM Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 at 05:02 AM Unless the By-laws specifically state otherwise, the Vice-Chairman ( or Vice-President) would automatically become Chairman (or President) should the Chairman/President resign. There would then be a vacancy for Vice-Chairman (or Vice-President.) The only way I know that this would not occur is if the By-laws specifically state that the Vice-Chairman (Vice-President) does not become the Chairman (Vice-Chairman) in the event of the Chairman (President) no longer holding office mid-term (due to resignation, removal, etc.) or if there is a Chairman (President) Elect position.
