Last week: A director's house sold and deed was recorded before 4pm. Later that day at 10pm, house seller who was disqualified from being a director when the deed was recorded, wrote a letter of resignation to the president by email. Now president thinks board can appoint someone to fill the vacancy but our bylaws only allow appointment for vacancies created by death or resignation.

Letter of resignation submitted.
Bylaws allows Board to appoint to fill vacancies created by death or resignation.
President wants Board to fill vacancy.

I don't see an issue.

Typically, the appointment only lasts until the term of the seat ends or at the next annual meeting (depends on applicable laws and governing docs)
