Guest OpenMindedMember Posted September 16, 2015 at 01:19 AM Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 at 01:19 AM What happens if a secretary pro tem is not selected in the absence of the secretary?Let me add there is a recording secretary present. With that being said, is it necessary to select a secretary pro tem in the abscence of the secretary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hieu H. Huynh Posted September 16, 2015 at 02:57 AM Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 at 02:57 AM If the recording secretary could be the secretary, then there would be no need to elect a secretary pro tem. The recording secretary would sign the minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted September 16, 2015 at 04:40 AM Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 at 04:40 AM I don't see the problem. The recording secretary is the one who should be taking and signing the minutes. That's the job of the recording secretary. The only reason for electing a secretary pro tem is to have someone to take the minutes when the secretary who normally takes the minutes is absent. If he or she is present, there is no need for a secretary pro tem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
