Guest Leo Posted July 6, 2017 at 04:10 AM Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 at 04:10 AM In our church board the person who was treasurer resigned. Our chair selected our Financial Secretary to take on the position of treasurer and Financial Secretary. The chair selected the person to do so without bringing the situation to the board so they could make a selection for a vote. The board just went along with it by agreeing. Please comment.

Joshua Katz Posted July 6, 2017 at 04:48 AM Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 at 04:48 AM What do your bylaws say about filling vacancies? What do you mean by "by agreeing"? Was there some action taken by the board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted July 6, 2017 at 12:30 PM Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 at 12:30 PM I agree with Mr. Katz. In all probability, your bylaws provide for the method of filling vacancies. Those Provisions should be followed. If your bylaws are silent, and if that position is an elected office, then RONR requires that an election be held to fill the vacancy. Also, nothing in RONR prohibits someone from holding two positions at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
