Daisy Carrington Posted January 18, 2015 at 12:58 PM Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 at 12:58 PM The President of our association resigned, so according to our bylaws, the 1st VP assumed the role. Along with this change, the 2nd VP was appointed 1st VP and Hospitality co-chair appointed 2nd VP, all in line with our bylaws. (Even though they are elected positions in the case of resignations, position may be appointed. We went through the necessary steps to resign and appoint.) This happened mid-fiscal year. Our bylaws state, "a person shall not be eligible to serve more than three consecutive terms in the same office." Since the new officers assumed their roles mid-year, and were not elected, can they be elected 3 years and thus effectively be in their positions 3.5 years? We also have the option of changing our bylaws to make term limits 4 years, but I'd like to avoid that if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
