Guest RICK Posted January 9, 2018 at 12:33 PM Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 at 12:33 PM Does a Board Of Directors have the power to freeze/suspend an existing By-Law on how an organization takes in members while the By-law committee researches and proposes a new bylaw on the same subject? An act we have never done as we have changed by-laws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted January 9, 2018 at 12:55 PM Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 at 12:55 PM No "freeze" allowed, unless the bylaws explicitly allow it. So the direct answer to your question is "No". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted January 9, 2018 at 01:03 PM Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 at 01:03 PM The board has only the powers granted to it in the bylaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted January 9, 2018 at 03:44 PM Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 at 03:44 PM I suppose, depending on the situation, if the board or membership must approve new members, it might be possible to delay any new member approvals until after the bylaws are amended.
