tctheatc Posted May 4, 2012 at 06:28 PM Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 at 06:28 PM RONR doesn't give them that right. Or even to change them with notice. I have a hunch, though, that you knew that.Maybe your bylaws give them that (exclusive) right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsroc Posted May 4, 2012 at 06:46 PM Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 at 06:46 PM our By-laws state that RONR shall be the guides in all deliberations, so the change should be a void? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsroc Posted May 4, 2012 at 06:54 PM Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 at 06:54 PM Article 21 of our by-laws states: These "By-Laws" may be amended in part or in its entirety by two-thirds (2/3) vote of the membership present at the regular or special meeting called for the purpose.So does this mean the President should have notified all members of the amendment and have meeting for the amendment?

I don't see anything in there about "by the president and his parliamentarian." Do you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David A Foulkes Posted May 4, 2012 at 07:05 PM Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 at 07:05 PM So, does your President (and parliamentarian) claim to have amended the Constitution/Bylaws? If so, has he presented these changes to the membership?Also, if you return here, click on the small envelope icon at the top, to the left of your name.
