No. However, in order to go any further, we need more information. Can you elaborate? Provision for WHAT in the bylaws? Is there a vacancy in the office of president? Do you not have a vice president? Why would the bylaws committee play a role in the selection of president? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That certainly does not sound like anything a bylaws committee would be involved in, no. In a typical organization, there would rarely ever be a vacancy in the office of president. If the president leaves or is removed from office, the vice president becomes president automatically, for the unexpired remainder of that term. So the office that would need to be filled is the office of vice president. But probably by some means other than the bylaws committee. If your bylaws truly have no provision whatsoever for filling vacancies, then you fill them the way they were originally filled, typically by an election, which will require previous notice to the body doing the electing.
