Guest R S Carpenter Posted November 16, 2010 at 02:02 AM Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 at 02:02 AM Can the President appoint a proxy for an absent board member (to meet the requirement of a quorum to hold a board meeting) from the members of the association who are present at the board meeting but do not presently hold an office?

Guest Dale Posted August 31, 2015 at 03:34 PM Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 at 03:34 PM Can a board member appoint his/her own proxy from general membership? Doing this without a vote from the governing board or general membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing this without a vote from the governing board or general membership. May I clarify, a board member moved and just picked a person from general membership to take her place on the board. That cannot be done without nominations and a vote, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted August 31, 2015 at 04:03 PM Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 at 04:03 PM Dale, in the future, please post your question as a new question even if it seems to fit in with an existing thread. This thread is almost five years old. But, the answer to your question is no, a board member may not appoint anyone (especially not a non-board member) to serve as his proxy unless some provision in your bylaws authorizes it or state law requires it. Otherwise, proxies are strictly prohibited by RONR. And a board member may not name someone else to take his place on the board unless your bylaws authorize it.
