Guest Courtney Posted February 27, 2012 at 07:44 PM Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 at 07:44 PM So if your in the middle of the meeting and you are president what do you do if you want to step down as president so you can participate in discussion. Is there a way to do it? or are you allowed to at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David A Foulkes Posted February 27, 2012 at 08:11 PM Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 at 08:11 PM Normally you would relinquish the Chair to the Vice President for the remainder of the consideration of the pending question(s). Then you would take back the Chair and continue with the meeting. See page 452 (RONR 11th Ed.) for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstackpo Posted February 28, 2012 at 05:05 PM Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 at 05:05 PM The way to avoid having to do so is to do your homework and prime a friend, well before the meeting, to do the arguing for you. That way your appearance of impartiality doesn't get sullied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
