Guest Jerry Posted August 20, 2014 at 07:32 PM Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 at 07:32 PM Recently at a meeting of our club, the President announced a decision made by the Board that is in violation of our Bylaws. What is the proper format to make this decision invalid by the membership at the next meeting? At a club meeting, is it proper for the President to start a discussion by giving their opinion and then asking the members to discuss and make a motion? Is it not required that the President, during a meeting, remain impartial during a discussion that the membership will vote on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
