Guest B&B Posted January 16, 2013 at 01:42 PM Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 at 01:42 PM Does the immediate past chair have to serve a full term as chair in order to become past chair? Or are they eligible having completed a partial term for a chairman that had to leave office (and the Board)?Does the immediate past chair last only for the year after you were chair (officer terms are one year), or if there is no immediate past chair the NEXT year does the role go on for another year? Some on our Board are suggesting that we don't have an immediate past chair because the the role is only good for the next year after your term as chairman.

jstackpo Posted January 16, 2013 at 02:00 PM Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 at 02:00 PM RONR doesn't define or deal with an Im-Past-Pres at all. So turn to your bylaws for answers to your questions, or use logic.Per logic (mine, anyway) the IPP remains in that position until the current president goes out of office. It doesn't matter how (under a cloud-?) the pres left office, he immediately becomes the IPP replacing the (now) former one.Ask your board member where he gets that "one-year" restriction?[Read "Chair" for "Pres".] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted January 16, 2013 at 02:02 PM Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 at 02:02 PM Wouldn't it would seem logical that someone would only be the Immediate Past Chair until someone else becomes the Immediate Past Chair by no longer being the Chair? However, unless the bylaws provide for a position of Immediate Past Chair being the immediate past Chair is just a state of being and if the bylaws do provide for such a position they should spell out the details.

Guest Edgar Posted January 16, 2013 at 02:36 PM Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 at 02:36 PM . . . if there is no immediate past chair the NEXT year does the role go on for another year? Some on our Board are suggesting that we don't have an immediate past chair because the the role is only good for the next year after your term as chairman.Short of death, there will always be someone who was chair (or president) just before the current chair (or president).

Steven Britton Posted January 16, 2013 at 04:26 PM Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 at 04:26 PM The issue that RONR doesn''t resolve: If the IPP is a member of the board of directors, and somehow there becomes a vacancy in the office of IPP, may it, or what is the procedure for filling the resulting vacancy.RONR's answer is that your bylaws need to deal with these details. If they don't, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
