whichjelly58 Posted April 22, 2021 at 07:47 AM Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 at 07:47 AM Iam interested in running of meeting. My Question is if the current president and Vice President are not present at the meeting.Does the past president step into that role at the meeting?

Hieu H. Huynh Posted April 22, 2021 at 10:13 AM Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 at 10:13 AM No. That person could preside although being a past president has nothing to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atul Kapur Posted April 22, 2021 at 10:20 AM Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 at 10:20 AM "If neither the president nor any vice-president is present, the secretary—or in the secretary’s absence some other member—calls the meeting to order, and the assembly immediately elects a chairman pro tem to preside during that session." RONR (12th ed.) 47:11(3) A past-president is a reasonable person to elect to preside over that meeting, but that is not automatic under RONR. If the secretary or past president assume that the past president will preside, and no one objects, then they can proceed with that assumption. The way to object would be to nominate someone else to serve in that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
