Guest Sal Posted February 5, 2013 at 07:29 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 at 07:29 PM If a board member resigns, does the president appoint someone to fill the position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David A Foulkes Posted February 5, 2013 at 07:51 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 at 07:51 PM Your bylaws may provide for vacancy filling, in which case they will describe who (or what body) is authorized to appoint/elect someone. Otherwise, you would most likely have to gather the general membership for a special election. Without knowing your bylaws (and please don't post them here), it's difficult to give a specific answer.

Guest Guest Posted February 5, 2013 at 08:08 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 at 08:08 PM Our Bylaws do not cover this. Some members feel the board should elect someone, while others feel the president has that power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Mervosh Posted February 5, 2013 at 08:10 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 at 08:10 PM See if RONR (11th ed.), p. 467, l. 25ff "Vacancies", helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ain't "Oprah". Or "Dr. Phil". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had just spent 90 minutes on the phone with Verizon (and their "music on hold" was the auditory equivalent of our beloved CAPTCHA code).u57e2W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted February 6, 2013 at 06:03 AM Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 at 06:03 AM Our Bylaws do not cover this. Some members feel the board should elect someone, while others feel the president has that power.Then what are those members reading that leads them to think this way? Neither of those positions is supported by RONR, if your bylaws are silent.It is not uncommon for bylaws to provide that the board can fill vacancies, but yours apparently don't. It would be rare for the president alone to have that power and without a bylaws provision, it would be nonexistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
