Guest Mary Posted December 13, 2019 at 06:43 PM Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 at 06:43 PM We have a Board of trustees with seven members. Our bylaws say that we must have 5 members to be able to appoint an acting member to be a part of the board until our next by annual meeting. Unfortunately, we had three members resign. That just leaves us with four board members which would be 100% of the board however not the five members delineate it in our bylaws. Can we appoint with just the four remaining board members.

Chris Harrison Posted December 13, 2019 at 06:49 PM Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 at 06:49 PM Have you already accepted the resignations of those 3 Board members? What do the Bylaws say regarding accepting a resignation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we appoint with just the four remaining board members. With the question boiled down to its essence, the answer would appear to be obvious ("no"). Mr. Harrison does ask a good question about the actual status of the resignations. If you are asking, "What can we do if we only have four members left?" I would reply that the group that originally elected the board gets to fill vacancies. Is there a provision in your bylaws for a special meeting of the membership?

After that, I guess, the board can appoint an acting member until the next annual meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
