Chair leaves meeting


Portcullischain

Recommended Posts

Our Cub Scout Pack held a committee meeting yesterday and apparently (I wasn't there) things got heated. The Chair, feeling slighted, left the meeting abruptly. Our group doesn't have any bylaws that state who takes over presiding the meeting if this happens. Does the meeting enter an "adjourned" state and the minutes should stop at the point the Chair left? Should the members who were left over have voted for a president pro tem to continue the agenda?

No (although if everyone got up and left at that point, the meeting is adjourned).

The Vice Chair would take over, if there is one. If you don't have a Vice Chair, or if the Vice Chair is also absent, then the assembly would elect a Chairman Pro Tempore.
