Hieu H. Huynh Posted October 29, 2015 at 12:35 AM Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 at 12:35 AM At the next membership meeting, raise a point of order that the officer does not meet the eligibility requirements in the bylaws. The election of an ineligible person is null and void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weldon Merritt Posted October 29, 2015 at 12:54 AM Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 at 12:54 AM At the next membership meeting, raise a point of order that the officer does not meet the eligibility requirements in the bylaws. The election of an ineligible person is null and void. It is not clear that the officer was ineligible when elected. I read Guest Jan's post to mean that the officer failed to renew his or her membership after being elected. If so, the election was not null and void, but the office became vacant when the officer's membership lapsed. In either event, I agree that a point of order should be raised. (This assumes, of course, that the bylaws indeed require officers to be members, and that the officer indeed is no longer a member. But note that mere non-payment of dues, if that is what happened, does no result in automatic loss of membership, unless the bylaws say so.)

Gödel Fan Posted October 29, 2015 at 02:13 AM Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 at 02:13 AM I think some clarification is needed on the OP. We're told that membership is required for election, but then the question asks about the officer failing to join. My initial interpretation is that they weren't ever a member, but maybe I'm missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
