resignation of President Vice President takeover

JudyT1, look to your governing documents for the correct "order of sucession" for officers. Usually the VP does act in the capacity of President when President leaves office prior to an election.

The post written by Jadedone4 is 100% correct to my knowledge. I have been reading and posting on HOATalk for about a year and have been a board member for just as long. I have learned that YOUR governing documents are the “bible” when a situation arises in your association. If you ever have any questions or concerns, be certain to look to your governing documents first then feel free to ask “US” for help. This will save you a tremendous amount of time or use the search box HOATalk has provided,reading previously written posts discussing HOA matters.
There are many very knowledgeable people that post on this discussion forum.

Something you should always remember, is that those documents (specific to your association) are selected by the builder and the majority of the time those documents are selected to benefit him/her. They rarely benefit the board members, homeowners or lot owners. The governing documents are very vague and left for interpretation. I’ve only read a few that specifically specify a particular issue (situation).

In every set of governing documents I had read, including my own specifically state that Vice president will resume the position of the President “If” he/she is unable to perform his or her role as president.
If he/she isn’t suitable for the position then that is a whole other situation to deal with.

Keep us post and best of luck

JudyT1 - Officers (Pres, VP, Treas, & Sec.) are typically decided by the Board members at their first meeting following an election meeting. If the other members don't object and you are the odd man out, you can gauge which way that decision will go.

Judy, usually the By-laws state something like the following duties of the VP: "The vice-president shall act in the place and stead of the president in the event of the president's absence, inability, or refusal to act". Thus your VP is the "acting President" until such time as a new President is elected.

Our Treasurer told him. He is one of the oldest on the BOD and has been in the Presidency position a couple times. Our past President did not think this was the way it was done either and that was why others started to question the legalness of it. So what I am hearing on this is our Vice President will hold this office until next April when election time comes up and we have new appointees brought in? So when we bring someone in to replace the resigned Presidents position we appoint a new Vice President correct?
