Guest SHAA Posted January 17, 2013 at 01:31 PM Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 at 01:31 PM It was brought to my attention that the person who was elected as our private org's President, but does not fall under our requirments to even be a member, let alone hold office. What should happen next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted January 17, 2013 at 01:37 PM Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 at 01:37 PM Maybe nothing!RONR has no rule prohibiting non-members from holding office.But your "requirements to hold office" could mean he/she was indeed improperly elected is is not your president. But they are your rules to sort out and apply, not RONR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SHAA Posted January 17, 2013 at 03:02 PM Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 at 03:02 PM What if the majority of the board members are the Presidents personal friends and they disagree, even though our consitution states otherwise? This is also part of our Constituion:A. Elected Officers shall be the President, First Vice-President, Second Vice-President, Secretary, Administrative Treasurer, and Welfare Treasurer.B. Serve a term of one year or until resignation or removal by the General Membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
