can a current board member retain board position and run for another position on the board

[Guest Lesley Gordon]

there is a member of our board, with one  year left in their term, who would like to run for a two year position up for election this year. Question is this, does the board member need to resign their current position in order to run for a different position on the board. We have alternating two year terms off office. Up for election this year are president, secretary and two directors.

Simple answer: no.

[Guest jstackpo]

So, they can -- should they loose -- return to their former position on the board?

[jstackpo]

Not exactly -- they would resign their former position if (and only if) they won the election; so the just remain in their current office if they lose.

[Guest thank you]

thank you for clearing this up for me. Much appreciated

They could possibly keep both positions unless they conflict or the bylaws prohibit that situation.

That person only has one vote, no matter how many positions they hold.
