Guest Chuck Posted December 13, 2013 at 07:15 PM Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 at 07:15 PM This may sound weird but on a board that I am on the by-laws state that the secretary and the treasure do not have voting privileges which is OK, maybe, but now some of the senior members are saying that the Vice Chairman doesn't either even though it is not stated in the by-laws. Doesn't the Vice Chairman always have the right to vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted December 13, 2013 at 07:22 PM Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 at 07:22 PM Ask your "Senior (moment) Members" to show you the rule preventing the Vice-Chair from voting. They won't find anything of the sort in RONR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
