Can you vote on a new Mission Statement vie email?

[Guest Patricia]

As a secretary on a Non-Profit Board I am not sure we can vote on a new Mission Statement via email? Does anyone know if that is acceptable?

[George Mervosh]

All forms of absentee voting must be authorized by the bylaws, or they are prohibited under the rules in RONR.

And why would you need to ask the question to begin with? Can't this wait until the next meeting? It certainly doesn't sound like something that needs to be approved today.

Uh, to get an answer?

Studies have shown shown that getting an answer is consistently among the top three reasons for asking questions.

To "get an answer" is a great reason, but the original poster only asked this without any real reason (like "one of the other Board members said ...." or "my friend stated that it would be okay to ..." which leads me to believe that there may be more to the question than what was asked. And that's why I asked if there was more of an explanation.
