Guest Toni Posted October 22, 2015 at 07:35 PM Report Posted October 22, 2015 at 07:35 PM If a bylaw reads "No Director shall serve as President or Vice President of the Board of Directors for more than two (2) years consecutively, does one term equal one year? Board meets once per month from September to June. At the June Annual General Meeting, executive officers are elected.
Richard Brown Posted October 22, 2015 at 07:55 PM Report Posted October 22, 2015 at 07:55 PM It's up to your organization to interpret its own bylaws, but it seems to me in this case that if a term of office is one year, then one year and one term are synonymous for all practical purposes. btw, unless your bylaws provide otherwise, serving more than half a term is considered as having served a full term.
Curiosulus Posted October 22, 2015 at 08:15 PM Report Posted October 22, 2015 at 08:15 PM It depends on the context. Do the bylaws discuss terms and years interchangeably? Is there some reason they would set a limit on years but not terms? As quoted, this bylaw implies that an officer could be elected to fill a vacancy midterm and then term out in the middle of her third term.
Gödel Fan Posted October 22, 2015 at 08:27 PM Report Posted October 22, 2015 at 08:27 PM I wouldn't think you would read that as establishing anything regarding the term of office. If the bylaws contain no provision for term of office, what do they say about elections?
