Amend Chairs decision

[Anthony]

I am having a hard time finding an attorney that handles this kind of thing in MIchigan.  Anyone know of someone?

That is the case but how does the 3 proceed?  Has it now become something the court must settle? 

To clarify, the remarks I made above are actions for "the 3" to take:

If someone moves to accept the resignation, then the member who "resigned" can rise before the motion is stated and interrupt the proceedings to raise a question of privilege to withdraw the resignation. The deadline for that is before the chair states the question, which is the third step in processing a motion: 

1. A member makes ("moves") the motion

2. A member seconds the motion

3. The chair states the motion.

 

If you are beyond these steps, then it sounds like you need to consult an attorney. I cannot assist in finding an attorney with experience in this area in your jurisdiction.

Depending on the nature of your organization, you may not have a legal cause of action, which may be why you can’t find an attorney.

In general, courts are reluctant to cast themselves as RONR police.

Well, another way to proceed would be to actually have a meeting where these issues can be hashed out. I'm rather doubtful they can be hashed out over email.

Have you made any progress in trying to schedule an actual meeting of the board? What do the organization's rules say on that subject?

Another idea which occurs to me would be to try to direct these matters to the attention of the parent organization, if there is one.

Questions concerning legal matters should be directed to an attorney.
