I am questioning the validity of the July 9, 2013 Board of Directors officer elections.
Per the By Laws of our Association, Inc.
Article VIII – Officers and their Duties
Section 2. Election of Officers – The election of officers shall take place at the first meeting of the Board of Directors following each annual meeting of members.
Section 3. Term – The officers of this Association shall be elected annually by the Board and each shall hold office for two (2) years unless he shall sooner, resign, or shall be removed, or otherwise disqualified to serve.
The elections held July 9, 2013 went as follows:
Office of Vice-President was empty and needed to be filled.
XXXa nominated themself for the position of Vice-President.
XXXb nominated themself for the position of Vice-President.
The vote was taken and XXXb won the vote 3-1.
Now comes my complaint on the validity of this vote. Per the By Laws an officer is elected to their position for two (2) years. XXXb was elected to the position Member at Large in 2012, therefore he has to fill his two year obligation to that position unless he resigns, or shall be removed, or otherwise disqualified to serve. XXXb was never qualified to run for the office of the Vice President’s position and the election of Vice President should be granted to XXXa by default since there were no other valid nominations for the Vice-President.
