Guest Evelyn Jones Posted January 9, 2019 at 06:24 AM Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 at 06:24 AM Our By-Laws were accepted by vote at a General Meeting of community residents. Can the By-Laws then be amended by vote of just the officers at a monthly meeting of just the officers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atul Kapur Posted January 9, 2019 at 06:46 AM Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 at 06:46 AM (edited) The short answer is it is highly unlikely that this authority has been delegated to the officers. Your bylaws should have an article about their Amendment: who can amend them, what the vote requirement is, and what notice is required. If there is nothing in your bylaws about how they are amended, then RONR says "they can be amended by a two-thirds vote if previous notice ... has been given, or they can be amended by the vote of a majority of the entire membership." (Page 581, lines 3-7). That would be at a meeting of the members. Of course, if your bylaws don't have a provision for their own amendment then it is unlikely that they have formally adopted a Parliamentary Authority.
