Guest Daniel Posted January 15, 2017 at 01:22 AM Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 at 01:22 AM With the Annual General Meeting of a not-for-profit organization that follows Roberts Rules of Order, and also has its own bylaws, who should Chair the Annual General Meeting when elections are held? The president? A Parliamentarian? Should the Chair be someone who can be nominated and voted for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted January 15, 2017 at 01:39 AM Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 at 01:39 AM The president presides even though he/she may have been nominated for election to an office, including a second (?) term. RONR, p. 451, line 35 - p. 452. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daniel Posted January 15, 2017 at 03:19 AM Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 at 03:19 AM Thank you for the reply. Can the President appoint someone other than himself/herself to chair the Annual General Meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieu H. Huynh Posted January 15, 2017 at 03:24 AM Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 at 03:24 AM No. The assembly could vote to have someone else preside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted January 15, 2017 at 04:13 AM Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 at 04:13 AM Yes there is a Vice President. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted January 15, 2017 at 04:35 AM Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 at 04:35 AM 17 minutes ago, Daniel said: Yes there is a Vice President. Then the assembly would need the permission of the Vice President to appoint a chairman pro-tem by a majority vote, and without such permission, a 2/3 vote. But I remind you that the corrrect person to preside over elections is the current president, whether nominated for an office or not.
