Guest Ann Posted November 27, 2019 at 06:10 AM Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 at 06:10 AM We have bylaws that address the qualifications for appointed officers and chairpersons. The president of the organization wants to appoint members who are not eligible to fill vacancies for 2020. Can he appoint ineligible members? Can the bylaw be suspended with a 2/3rds vote? Thanking you in advance for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted November 27, 2019 at 06:34 AM Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 at 06:34 AM No. Qualifications for office cannot be waived or suspended. Neither can bylaws except when a bylaw provision provides for its own suspension or if the bylaw provision is in the nature of a rule of order. The bylaw provisions you referred to are not in the nature of rules of order and cannot be suspended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
