hmtcastle Posted August 7, 2010 at 01:59 PM Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 at 01:59 PM Our association President resigned, does the Vice President automatically take the position?Yes.What is the procedure for sucession of or voting in new officers when they resign?If your bylaws don't contain any mid-term vacancy-filling provisions (e.g. appointment by the board), you'll hold a special election to elect a new vice-president. There is no automatic succession other than that of vice-president to president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ed Posted August 7, 2010 at 05:14 PM Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 at 05:14 PM There is no automatic succession other than that of vice-president to president.Unless specified in the By-laws of course. For example, in a larger organization, one might find two Secretaries (Correspondence and Recording) and the By-laws may discuss what would occur should one of the people should resign or be removed from office.Also, remember if there are two or more Vice Presidents, the By-laws should provide with the succession plan - examples, include:1) Senior Vice President and Junior Vice President2) 1st Vice President, 2nd Vice President, etc.If you are using #2, then each Vice President may have a specific area that they are reponsible for (otherwise the positions may become useless from a practical point of view.)

(RONR 10th Ed., p. 442 ll. 2-10) I'd support your suggestion if any variation on #1 is used (that is, not the naming convention of 1st VP, 2nd VP, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
