bylaw changes

It states in our bylaws "the by-law of this corporation can be amended at any regular or the annual meeting and every such amendment must be approved by a 2/3 majority vote of the representatives of the members present at meeting.

 

that being said, The board of directors are the presidents of all the clubs affiliated with the council.  however, none of the presidents were notified that there was going to be a change.   The board of directors have complete control and management of all assets of the corporation.....

 

the new bylaws have elminimated board of directors completely and placed everything into the hands of the officers of the council.  

 

can this be done without the board of directors approval?  I would think that such a drastic change in bylaws would have to have some approval by the board of directors?

 

thank you

Nothing in RONR would require the board to approve such a change, and based on the facts provided, your bylaws don't seem to require that either.

I don't see much support for the second quote in the language of the first quote.
