appointments

[Guest Debby]

Our VP was elected president this month to start July 1. He has turned in his resignation effective July 1. When can we appoint a replacement? And is that somewhere in the RRO book?

I would first note that this resignation must be accepted by the body with the authority to fill the resulting vacancy in the office of Vice President before it can become effective - although typically this is a formality.

Well, he automatically has a replacement. When there is a vacancy in the office of President, the Vice President automatically becomes President unless the bylaws provide otherwise. So the Vice President will get a very swift promotion on July 1.

The vacancy in the office of Vice President can be appointed prior to when the vacancy will occur, if that is your question. Of course, the person will not take office until the vacancy occurs.

I'm not aware of anything in RONR explicitly stating someone cannot be appointed for a vacancy which will not occur until the future, but I'm also not aware of anything saying you can't do that.
