If your rules allow this it will be up to you all to work out the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the board member is resigning, look to your bylaws for any vacancy filling provisions. If a person is properly appointed to fill a vacancy, that appointee is a member with full membership rights, including the right to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Mervosh Posted September 17, 2010 at 03:20 PM Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 at 03:20 PM This sounds like a case where committee chairs are members of the Board and the answer is in your governing documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
