How should that be determined?The vice-president, if you have one (and he's present). If not, the secretary (if you have one and she's present) calls the meeting to order and conducts a brief election for a chair pro tem (a temporary presiding officer). If the secretary is also absent, any member can call the meeting to order and you'll also elect a secretary pro tem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the meeting, if one of the "higher" officers arrives (or returns after having left) they take the chair back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, on the other hand..... (j/k... good luck)That is quite funny, considering the IPP resigned in a tizzy two weeks ago. Along with the VP, the Treasurer, and one member of the BOD. I'll fill everyone in when this storm blows over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, let's not get involved with the discussion about how resignations are (properly) handled, and whether you still have a quorum, at least at Board meetings.

hmtcastle Posted August 6, 2010 at 09:47 AM Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 at 09:47 AM Since the IPP resigned, we have handily dodged that can o' worms.I'm not so sure. The IPP remains the IPP (until, of course, the current president leaves office) and so, in spite of his resignation, he may retain (regain?) his ex-officio status. Maybe.

But someone has to beat the poor dead horse from time to time or this discussion will devolve into a question and answer forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
