Wow. I didn't know that was a debatable issue. My interpretation of a board of directors is that a quorum can make decisions. Any quorum. Officers serve to execute the direction of the board, chair the meetings, record the meetings, and hoard all the gold. In the absence of any one or more of the officers, the board makes do, as long as they have the quorum, and proper notice was issued, they _are_ the board. I believe that no officer is indispensable, and 'pro tem' can be appointed by the board to serve the role when needed. Am I mistaken? I don't see anything in the By-Laws that specifically requires, forbids, nor clarifies... http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/pub/Organizational/ProposedByLaws2005/GNHLUG_Bylaws.odt Artive IV, Section 5, "Quorum. A meeting must be attended by at least four of the Board members before business can be transacted or motions made or passed." In the absence of greater direction, I think there are no further restrictions. However, it looks like an issue we'll have to resolve. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ gnhlug-org mailing list gnhlug-org@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org/
