adavis Posted May 6, 2021 at 02:20 PM Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 at 02:20 PM There's been much discussion in our organization about a VP vacancy that was previously filled by a member who later ran for that office and won. He is now up for re-election and his detractors say that he cannot run again as it will mean he would serve three terms (term limit is 2). Unfortunately, there's nothing in our by-laws or operating procedures that address this and I can't seem to find anything definitive in RONR. It seems to me that the first term served should not be counted as his term as he was appointed and serving out the term of a member who had resigned, but that won't satisfy his detractors. Any thoughts or guidance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Mervosh Posted May 6, 2021 at 02:26 PM Report Share Posted May 6, 2021 at 02:26 PM Perhaps this will help. " In filling vacancies for unexpired terms, an officer who has served more than half a term in an office is considered to have served a full term."
