Guest Lynn thomas Posted May 17, 2019 at 03:12 PM Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 at 03:12 PM Our sorority bylaws state that we vote for officers in November . The term of office is 2 years. One of the officer positions was not filled in Nov 2018 because noone was nominated from the floor nor did they submit an application. It is not a required position..since voting was completed in Nov 2018, do we allow voting this year for that one position? The bylaws say we vote every 2 years. If the position was not filled, would we wait to try to fill it in nov.2020? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean when you say it is not a required position? Is it a position which is called for in your bylaws?

Generally, I would say that the incomplete election for this position should be completed as soon as possible, but I am curious as to the basis for the statement that “It is not a required position.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the position was not filled, would we wait to try to fill it in nov.2020? I'm inclined to say that the election should be completed as soon as possible. I'm also confused by the statement that this office is not required. Was any decision reached before the election regarding whether to hold the election for this office? Deciding "Oh, never mind." in the middle of an incomplete election seems rather haphazard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
