Guest MangoDesk Posted June 9, 2012 at 01:50 AM Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 at 01:50 AM In a recent vote of the General Membership, we passed a change to our bylaws by a 65% majority. Our bylaws call for a simple majority to make chnges. One member suggested that Roberts Rules of Order took precedence over our own Club Bylaws and required at least a 2/3 or 3/4 majority. My question is simple: which takes precedence -- the Club's Bylaws or Roberts Rules??? Pkease help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
