Joshua Katz Posted August 3, 2023 at 03:54 PM Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 at 03:54 PM As long as you want. The VP's role, unless the bylaws say something else, is to automatically become president if the presidency would otherwise become vacant. They have no other role at meetings.

As i presume it is an officer post mentioned in the bylaws it should be refilled within a reasonable term. By who and so depends on the bylaws.

Rob Elsman Posted August 3, 2023 at 05:48 PM Report Share Posted August 3, 2023 at 05:48 PM In the absence of a president and vice president, the assembly has the power to elect a temporary occupant of the chair to preside over a meeting. The absence of a vice president should never bring a halt to a meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except to preside, when the president does not, for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the VP is simply skipping meetings, the impact would be minimal, but it's up to the assembly whether it rises to a level of concern.
