Guest georgie Posted October 13, 2012 at 10:32 PM Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 at 10:32 PM We do have procedures in our Bylaws to have voice vote by the eligible voters either on conference or in person so we could change our bylaws to accommodate ballot voting. I am under the impression that Board members of non-profit organizations may not use proxy voting so my question was does the same hold true for ballot voting.Is it correct that eligible voters on boards for non-profit organizations cannot use proxies?

In RONR-Land, the former is prohibited while the latter is quite common. (And, no, I don't mean to suggest that apples are prohibited.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnR Posted October 13, 2012 at 10:59 PM Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 at 10:59 PM Are Board of Directors able to vote by ballot in 50l © 3 organizations?Yes. But if you are incorporated, you are likely subject to state laws and should seek appropriate legal advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Novosielski Posted October 15, 2012 at 04:11 AM Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 at 04:11 AM It's quite unlikely that you would need to change your bylaws to allow ballot votes. In the first place, they're already allowed by RONR, so if they're not prohibited by some strange state regulations, then you can use them already.And if they are prohibited in your state laws, then you would not be able to authorize them by amending your bylaws anyway. So amending your bylaws is either impossible or unnecessary, depending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
