Guest Belle Posted April 11, 2015 at 12:13 PM Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 at 12:13 PM Would it be acceptable to state in the bylaws (and have the members vote on) the order for officers to preside over the meeting should the chair and vice chair be absent? In other words, if the chair and vice chair are absent, the secretary will preside over the meeting. If chair, vice chair, and secretary are absent, the treasurer will preside over the meeting, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgar Guest Posted April 11, 2015 at 01:06 PM Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 at 01:06 PM . . . if the chair and vice chair are absent, the secretary will preside over the meeting. But then you'll need someone to serve as secretary. And the treasurer might not be a particularly good presiding officer. So you might have trouble getting someone to serve as treasurer if she thought there's a chance she'd have to preside at a meeting. In other words, be careful what you wish for.

RONR covers this situation adequately, as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
