In the absence of both a presiding officer and a secretary, who would call a meeting to order and start the process of electing pro tem officers? If there is a vice president or vice chair, he would preside over the assembly and the election of a secretary pro tem. If there is no such officer, any member can do it - "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) After the pro tem presiding officer is elected, he would preside over the election of a pro tem secretary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
