Q&A

Can a VP call a meeting?

Can a vice president call a meeting, or does the actual meeting request have to come from the president? I know we need a quorum of board members, and I know the president typically calls the meetings, but can another board member? This would be a meeting outside of our regular monthly meetings.

I'm assuming that it will be a special meeting? In either case, I don't believe the Vice President can call a meeting. That responsibility is left to the President, and, assuming that there is a President, it should remain so. In our PTO, the President is sometimes compelled to call a special meeting upon the request of at least three directors. It all depends on your bylaws but generally this falls under the President's jurisdiction. Any other opinions on this?

Thanks for the response. I do presume it would be in line for the VP to ask the President to call a meeting. In this case, the VP wants to call a meeting to discuss a vote that the President is against, thinking that if the majority of the board were in favor of discussing it, then a meeting would be appropriate. But I do see why the President should be the only one to call a meeting; as President, you don't want your board in dissention against you. Again, thanks for the help!
