Edian Posted January 20, 2015 at 04:47 PM Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 at 04:47 PM Our By-Laws, after amendments are made, are presented to our Board of Trustees for approval. After accepting said amendments, the new By-Law amendments are subject to review by our membership. Our membership can vote to veto any or all of the amendments that were adopted by our Board of Trustees. One of these recently adopted changes the calendar that our BOT is voted into office. MY QUESTION...if the membership vetoes this amendment, does this "throw out" the existing BOT's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY QUESTION...if the membership vetoes this amendment, does this "throw out" the existing BOT's? If a proposed change to the bylaws isn't adopted the bylaws would remain as they were. Which suggests it's unlikely that failing to adopt a new calendar (by vetoing the proposal) would have any effect on the old current calendar. Or the existing current board.

Perhaps, but I'm not sure I'd characterize that as an effect of the veto since it would have happened if nothing was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Debbie McKinney Posted January 20, 2015 at 09:20 PM Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 at 09:20 PM I am not a parliamentarian. I am on the board of the Woman's Club. We have a By Laws and Standing Rules booklet. Our President wants to change a by law that was put in place many years ago. It states that in order to become a member of the board you must have been a member of the club for one year. She wants to change it to read that anyone new joining our club can be on the board. I find that strange.Is there a rule about "by laws".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
