CAN THE PRESIDENT STATE WHO WILL RUN THE NEXT HOA MEETING IN HER ABSENCE?

Hello all,
I have not found this in our docs anywhere..... so I AM ONCE AGAIN HERE SEEKING YOUR WISEDOM.

Our HOA prez will not be here for our next HOA mtg due to personal stuff. SHe called me and told me she wanted me to run the next HOA mtg. ( not an issue since I do this type of stuff weekly with my own staff at our office )

I am the secretary. Our VP has been missing in action for the last 2 meetings, recently sent us notice with a threat of legal actions against the board, and we all know he is on the collections list for dues not paid in the excess of 4 month.. > $1000. He will not be at our next meeting for sure, however, if he was the president feels he should not be the one leading the meeting, has no experience doing it and .... he does have his own agenda on items which in doubt would make it out to the discussion of open meeting. He has never been able to stick to the meeting agenda, gets side tracked and actually has had flaming arguements with homeowners, board members, lacks control of the situation.

Can the prez do this? I don't mind stepping up, but I have never seen this done before.

Francesca,

I agree with Donna. And, if the V.P. is inept, devisive and mostly unavailable, he should be removed from his position as V.P. I'm sure there is another director who could hold this position -- someone who, at least, attends the meetings w/o needless disruption!
