We had our new president (of about 1 month) resign for personnel reasons (stress). Since he was part of voting in the other officers, do we now need to revote our current board officers?? I have not heard this before and we have another board member stating such.

Yes.

I think you will wind up revoting, or confirming, the officers in any case.

For example, the President has resigned. The current VP has indicated he/she is willing to serve, the remaining members of the Board agree.

Now, what to do about the VP slot? Someone else can volunteer, your Board would then have to place another person in that person's slot.

And, you should find a new Board member. Do your documents allow the sitting Board to select the replacement or do you have to follow another process.

I think the point is moot. The board can vote to remove, and then replace, officers at any time. If no additional vote occurs, this is by the will of the board (Said board being satisfied with the current officers). If an additional vote occurs, this is by the will of the board (said board being not satisfied with the current officers). Same difference.

The answer to the question is no, you do not need to revote all officers. That is, there is no requirement to do so.

Some Bylaws dictate what the Officer positions are so if they are to be filled, an Officer election is the thing to do.

Yes, you need to vote a new President in if the President resigns. However, you do not need to vote in the same or different Secretary just because the President's position is open.

Depending on Jill's state's code and her own bylaws, the board might need to vote new office or a new office at an open meeting as required in Calif.

(I added emphasis to quote above).

I just want to point out that the new President leaving on day 30 does not invalidate any work they performed on days 1-29.

My neighborhood’s bylaws allow a single person to serve as (for instance) VP and Secretary. I’m guessing this is intended to help us limp by if we lose a Board member.

Am I the only one who mistakenly read the subject as “Revolting Officers”?

I agree and like the way you put it. Everything that happened while the president was in office is still valid. The president resigning has no effect on the other positions (unless one of them is appointed to replace the president).

And yes, I also saw revolting.
