Guest Peter Morin Posted August 2, 2023 at 12:46 AM Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 at 12:46 AM A Chairman was asked to resign by the board members. The Chairman did send an email indicating his resignation but the Board did not pass a motion to accept it. Can the Chairman rescind his resignation?

Joshua Katz Posted August 2, 2023 at 12:53 AM Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 at 12:53 AM Yes. It's not clear from the information provided that the board can accept the resignation, but someone has to before it takes effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Elsman Posted August 2, 2023 at 12:55 AM Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 at 12:55 AM Yes, like any other motion, a Request to be Excused from a Duty--in this case, a resignation--can be withdrawn by the mover without permission until it is placed before the assembly.

Guest Peter Morin Posted August 2, 2023 at 01:09 AM Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 at 01:09 AM Since the Board did not pass a motion to accept the Chair's resignation and the Chair rescinds his resignation afterwards, can the Board pass a motion to accept the original resignation?

Well, technically he be withdrawing his resignation. Rescission applies to something already adopted, and resignations, once adopted cannon be rescinded. But terminology aside, yes, he can change his mind if he does it fast enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
