Kim Goldsworthy Posted August 2, 2010 at 04:30 AM Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 at 04:30 AM Can a president or chairman of a board name a replacement for a vacated position?No. Robert's Rules of Order grants no such authority to a president.Or should the entire board vote on a replacement?No. Robert's Rules of Order grants no such authority to a board.The party who did the original electing is the party who fills vacancies in that office/position.Exception: If your bylaws say that another party (for example, a board; a president) is the party who fills vacancies, then THAT party does the filling of vacancies.
