Guest Carri Posted February 24, 2013 at 02:47 AM Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 at 02:47 AM How can we get a vote postponed in order to obtain council because the measure affects our agreement and we need legal help. The board will not willingly postpone because the vote benefits the other organizations 4 of 6 board members are associated with outside of our organization.

jstackpo Posted February 24, 2013 at 08:27 AM Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 at 08:27 AM Check your association's bylaws before you quit. They may (or may not, but only you can tell) say that the Board is bound to do what the general membership tells it to do, when those members are gathered in a general membership meeting. If so, adopt an appropriate set of instrucstions to the board at you next membership (not board) meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Soccer Fan Posted February 24, 2013 at 11:14 PM Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 at 11:14 PM BUT WAIT!! There's more...If Miss Carri is sharp, she'll set to work amending the bylaws which could call for general membership meetings. If she has an egotistical dictator on the board, she could play it to him, thereby gaining his support for general membership meetings amendments.Besides, if the general membership pays dues (and elects the board?) it is reasonable. In some states, it's a legal requirement--something Carri may want to check into.Don't give up yet, Carri! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
