Rescinding Executive Committee Resignation.

[Guest Joe Prassa]

If one has submitted resignation from the Executive Board but the Board Meeting did not take place to accept that resignation. Can one Rescind that resignation and resume their position on Exec Committee?

if there is nothing in your bylaws about this YES

RONR 4:19

Until the chair states the question,the maker has the right to modify his motion as he pleases or to withdraw it entirely.

Given that there was no meeting yet , the chair cannot have stated the question.

While I agree with "Puzzling" that a member may withdraw a resignation that has not been acted upon or stated by the chair, even after the chair has stated the motion (the resignation), the body which is to consider the resignation may permit it to be withdrawn just as any other motion may be withdrawn, either by unanimous consent or, if there is an objection, by majority vote.  See 33:11 - 33:18.  A motion to withdraw a resignation is not debatable.  Also, even if permission is not granted to withdraw the motion, the body may still vote not to accept the resignation.

Not "rescind" but rather "withdraw" the resignation.

And the answer is Yes.
