Gloria Posted December 19, 2016 at 09:28 AM Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 at 09:28 AM I am te president of an organization. Our Vice President (we only have 1 VP) has resigned. Our bylaws require that the President can fill a vacancy by appointment with the approval of BOD. The bylaws does not address the naming of interim officers. I would like to name an interim VP. Must an interim VP have BOD approval. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your bylaws do not address the naming of interim officers, then it cannot be done. You must follow your bylaws and appoint a Vice President, with the approval of the board.

Hieu H. Huynh Posted December 19, 2016 at 08:19 PM Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 at 08:19 PM I suppose that person could be appointed VP according to your bylaws and then resign when you have someone else for the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a vacancy for vice-president is filled, the person holding that office is called "Vice President". You can't evade the provisions of the bylaws with word play.
