Board Officer Election

[Guest Ex Prsident]

Our Bylaws state newly elected BOD members take effect July 1st.  A BOD meeting was held June 30th ( had 20 day notice) with all current BOD members and all newly elected BOD members for the election of BOD Officers to be effective July 1. Does this meeting count? If not what is done with minutes of this meeting?

There is no reason why the BOD (which at that time was last year's board) can't invite whoever they want to meet with them. The minutes, since they weren't approved before the old members left office, should be approved by post-july 1 board and kept with the other minutes of the board.

However, only the current board members, as of June 30, could make motions and vote.

Odds are that the officers of the 2014 - 2015 board should be elected by the members of that board at a meeting of that board.

The meeting counts, but the election might not.  If it does count, the officers elected may have only been in office until midnight.

 

Barring any contrary provisions in your bylaws, I'd say that at the next board meeting, after the new board members are in office and those departing are not, the board should feel free to elect its own officers.  The right way.
