Guest jean Posted June 21, 2012 at 04:33 PM Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 at 04:33 PM We have a non profit society. In February three members of the board resigned at the same time - the President, Board Secretary and a director. They were not replaced.The vice president assumed the position of president. She has one more term to serve before stepping down.The AGM will be held in a week's time. The bylaws state that after electing new members to the board at the AGM, the board will meet to elect its executive.My questions is - does the vice president keep the position she stepped into and the position of vice president is filled OR does the board start afresh and elect all executive positions?

Chris Harrison Posted June 21, 2012 at 04:36 PM Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 at 04:36 PM Elections should be held for the offices that are scheduled to be held. Or let's put it this way, if President Obama was to resign a week before the November election do you think that (then) President Biden would automatically get an extra 4 years in the White House?

The fact that two different people may have served during that time does not affect the length of the term.Your rules may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks as though your bylaws would require a new officers election every time a new board election takes place. If that is the case, which is a pretty common way of doing it, then the officer positions are up for election as usual. The fact that the new president achieved the office through succession makes no difference whatsoever. She might be (re)elected, or she might not.
