Guest John Posted May 16, 2014 at 10:37 PM Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 at 10:37 PM Our President has been horrible to deal with and we would like to remove him however our bylaws have no procedure, my understanding is that only the general membership can remove him through a trial.

It depends. See FAQ #20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Posted May 16, 2014 at 10:41 PM Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 at 10:41 PM Sorry, it is a fixed term of 2 years, simply says term is for 2 years, nothing else. Our membership of a sport association is 160, and our executive board is 11 in number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, then yes, the only way to remove the President is for the general membershp to use the formal disciplinary procedures in Ch. XX of RONR.

jstackpo Posted May 16, 2014 at 10:47 PM Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 at 10:47 PM Well, with a fixed term in office, you indeed have a long row to hoe -- Chapter 20. It might be easier to just wait him out? If your problems with the president are (just) in meetings where he misbehaves, you can -- 2/3 vote -- remove him from the chair for that meeting. Then the VP would become the presiding officer. p. 651 And if you did that every meeting, he might get a message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Posted May 16, 2014 at 11:00 PM Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 at 11:00 PM I have the second edition handy, but this is not in there, do I need the 11th edition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weldon Merritt Posted May 16, 2014 at 11:11 PM Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 at 11:11 PM You could probably squeak by with the 10th.Maybe, but I would highly recoomend getting the 11th edition. (And if you really have the second edition it is really old, unless it is the secnd edition of a more recent knock-off. Either way, you need to get the current edition of the Right Book.)

I'd highly recommend it. The disciplinary procedures have been updated significantly since the 10th edition (let alone the 2nd). I also suspect that you really have a copy of some third-party knockoff (or maybe RONR In Brief, which is an official and very good resource, but it doesn't really cover discipline), as I don't believe there aren't a lot of copies of the 2nd edition floating around.

Gary Novosielski Posted May 19, 2014 at 05:16 AM Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 at 05:16 AM Unless you have the Second Edition of RONRIB, in which case you're right up to date. But that doesn't have a Chapter 20, so you'll still need to get RONR 11th ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
