Guest C Davis Posted July 17, 2020 at 09:28 PM Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 at 09:28 PM We are a non-profit organization. Every year at our annual meeting, we give out 3 named awards. We want to change the name of one of the awards. Does that require board approval? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, is the name of the award specified in any of the organization's rules? We called it the Board of Directors award because the board unanimously approved the awardee. No - the award is not specified in organization rules. Of course, it is referenced in our minutes as a topic of discussion. 35 minutes ago, Josh Martin said: Is it known how the name of this award was determined to begin with?

J. J. Posted July 17, 2020 at 11:49 PM Report Share Posted July 17, 2020 at 11:49 PM Does it exist in rules or a policy book? It is most likely you could use the motion Amend Something Previously Adopted. It most likely would require a majority of the entire membership, a majority vote with notice, a 2/3 vote.

Who is "we" referring to in this sentence? I should clarify - what I meant by "how the name of the award was determined to begin with" is who chose the name, not why they chose it. It's sounding like the board named it, in which event, it would be the board that would change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
