Transpower Posted August 9, 2014 at 11:31 AM Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 at 11:31 AM Hopefully your bylaws state that officers "shall hold office for a term of _____ year(s) and until their successors are elected." RONR (11th ed.), p. 574, ll. 18-19. Therefore the current officers stay in power.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Global warming will spoil your anchorage pretty soon anyway.)A threat like that may bring some candidates out of the woodwork (teak, I presume) or up out of the bilge.Or maybe not.

Edgar Guest Posted August 9, 2014 at 12:58 PM Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 at 12:58 PM (Global warming will spoil your anchorage pretty soon anyway.) Mightn't it instead allow for the berthing of deeper boats? (With apologies to all the commodores on this forum for any mangling of nautical terms.)

Josh Martin Posted August 9, 2014 at 06:08 PM Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 at 06:08 PM What happens when no one runs for Commodore, vice and all officers. The nomination board is empty I suppose you'll need to try to think of why no one is running. Perhaps they are problems that can be fixed - reducing the duties of the officers and shifting them to committees, reducing (or removing) any qualifications for office, etc. If these problems will take a while to fix, you can limp along in the meantime. As noted, the current officers might continue serving. Failing that, you can elect a Chairman Pro Tempore and Secretary Pro Tempore at each meeting. But if this problem isn't resolved soon, it suggests a larger problem. Either no one wants to continue with the association, or they do, but no one is actually willing to do the work. In either case, it might be time to dissolve the association. See RONR, 11th ed., pgs. 563-564 for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
