TD Litchfield Posted November 19, 2010 at 05:09 AM Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 at 05:09 AM During a BOD meeting a motion was made, seconded, and passed. Two members were so angry with the outcome of vote two left the meeting and threatened to resign from the board. Now they want to reword the passed motion. Can this be done?

Can this be done?As long as the action authorized by the motion has not been completed, a motion to amend something previously adopted (ASPA) can be made. It requires the vote of a majority of the entire board, a two-thirds vote, or, with notice, a majority vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
