Guest Myrelle Posted October 18, 2010 at 02:44 PM Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 at 02:44 PM If a member of a Board of Directors sends a resignation to the President, should he not then notify the other members of the Board and not just rely on "word of mouth"?How long should it take for him to notify the Board and where can I find this reference in the book?

There's no time limit, though "as soon as possible" seems reasonable.In the (unlikely?) event that the president has the authority to fill the vacancy, he needn't notify anyone (though it might not be a bad thing to do). The other board members would simply see a new face at the table at the next meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Wynn Posted October 18, 2010 at 04:18 PM Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 at 04:18 PM If a member of a Board of Directors sends a resignation to the President,A resignation should be submitted to the secretary or appointing power. See RONR(10th ed.), p. 279, l. 10-13.should he not then notify the other members of the BoardThere's no rule that requires this; there's no rule that forbids it. and not just rely on "word of mouth"?If the board is the body responsible for accepting the resignation, it will show up at the next meeting. There's no need to alert the members of the board.How long should it take for him to notify the Board and where can I find this reference in the book?Neither the president, nor the member who is resigning is required to "notify" the board. If the board is the appointing power, the resignation should come before the board at the next meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Wynn Posted October 18, 2010 at 04:21 PM Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 at 04:21 PM Note that the member is still a member, until his resignation is accepted. See RONR(10th ed.), p. 279, l. 17-20 for details concerning his duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
