The President appoints the Parliamentarian with approval of the Executive Committee.  that was done.

Then all at once a month later she "fires" the parliamentarian without cause.  Will this firing hold up?

This took place in a small women's club.  The majority on the Ex. Committee wants to keep the original parliamentarian as there was no cause for the firing. 

[Dan Honemann]

Yes.

Ordinarily the president appoints (and fires) the parliamentarian.  The board, however, must approve (or disapprove) the parliamentarian's fees.

The board, however, must approve (or disapprove) the parliamentarian's fees.

 

There's a board?

There's a board?

Well, there's an executive committee:    "The President appoints the Parliamentarian with approval of the Executive Committee.  that was done." "The majority on the Ex. Committee wants to keep the original parliamentarian as there was no cause for the firing.".   (From the original post).

 

I would say that either the executive committee reports to a board or it is the board.

I would say that either the executive committee reports to a board or it is the board.

 

I wouldn't say that. Nor would I say, as Mr. Power did, that: 

 

The board . . . must approve (or disapprove) the parliamentarian's fees.

It says that the board or society must approve any fee (emphasis added).
