Guest rkrl Posted April 22, 2014 at 05:48 AM Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 at 05:48 AM If the secretary was unable to attend an Extraordinary General Meeting of the membership, and advised the membership 4 days prior to the meeting, does she still remain as the secretary of the society? Also, if she was being impeached and could not attend, is the outcome the same? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted April 22, 2014 at 09:30 AM Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 at 09:30 AM Yes, remains secretary (unless you have some very unusual bylaw provisions about attendance, or the like). Impeached? Yes, until actually removed from office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transpower Posted April 22, 2014 at 12:39 PM Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 at 12:39 PM RONR (11th ed.), p. 459, ll. 32-33: "In the absence of the secretary, a secretary pro tem should be elected." I think valid excuses for the secretary not to attend would be a serious illness or death in the family; talk of "impeachment" sounds way too harsh.

Guest Edgar Posted April 22, 2014 at 01:07 PM Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 at 01:07 PM . . . talk of "impeachment" sounds way too harsh. I wonder if the purpose of this "extraordinary" meeting was, in fact, the "impeachment" of the secretary. Perhaps Guest_rkrl will elaborate.
