SKT Posted December 26, 2018 at 06:46 PM Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 at 06:46 PM Our bylaws state that the board president "...will preside at all meetings of the Members and of the Board of Directors." Our members want a special member meeting and want to choose someone other than the president to chair that meeting. Does our bylaw language mean the president is the only person who can preside at any meeting? Could the members choose the presider for a special meeting given this language? Is there anything in Robert that could help interpret this language? Thank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Mervosh Posted December 26, 2018 at 07:16 PM Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 at 07:16 PM (edited) The rules may be suspended to permit another person to preside, yes. See RONR (11th ed.), pp. 651-653, including, of course the footnote on p. 652.
