Guest Laura Posted November 15, 2012 at 11:20 PM Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 at 11:20 PM One of our board positions is shared by two members (due to the amount of work involved). The by-laws say that is is a 2 person position and that Roberts Rules are to be followed. One of the members is resigning. If the remaining member is willing and wants to do the job alone to keep the records in one central location, can the position be held by one person or is a second person required to be appointed to fill the resigning member's spot?

sMargaret Posted November 15, 2012 at 11:32 PM Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 at 11:32 PM This is confusing.Your bylaws state that you must have two people perform the job of one position? Why not have the bylaws allocate the duties between two different positions? For example, if the position is Secretary, it would be more appropriate to have a Recording Secretary and a Correspondence Secretary than it would be to mandate two people, both serving as Co-Secretary.Do the bylaws say must or shall when they define the 2 person aspect of the position?

Guest Edgar Posted November 15, 2012 at 11:33 PM Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 at 11:33 PM The by-laws say that is is a 2 person position . . .Then that's the rule you must follow.Whether you can fill the vacancy by appointment, or need to hold an election instead, is another question.
