Rev Ed Posted April 6, 2017 at 04:29 AM Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 at 04:29 AM Only if the By-laws say so. Otherwise, the resignation has to be officially accepted at the next meeting of whatever group is empowered to accept resignations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted April 6, 2017 at 02:30 PM Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 at 02:30 PM A little more information would be helpful. But, based on what we have been told, tend to agree with Reverend Ed. I don't see anything wrong with submitting the letter of resignation by email. The issue is, unless your bylaws provide otherwise, a resignation does not become effective until it has been accepted or the society has had a reasonable opportunity to accept it. The mere act of submitting the resignation is not enough unless your bylaws specifically say that a resignation is effective when submitted. Also, a resignation may be withdrawn prior to being accepted or placed before the society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
