Interesting, as California State code for Non-profits pretty much
specifies that members vote on officers and the board. It is only the
members that can make any changes to the By-laws.
I'm guessing that the AGM is the same as a General Member Meeting. Most
non-profits have one every year for elections. In one non-profit I'm
involved with, rarely does a regular member attend these meetings and
only the Board members show up (even with the required notification
sent out).
Hi Tim,
I think that we are talking about the same thing.
The full membership attends a General Meeting of Members ... in the UK
called an Annual General Meeting (AGM), as it is held once a Year.
The general membership are there to see the people being put forward for
the Committee (Board).
However, suppose at the AGM a member puts themselves forward for the
Treasurer ... and all the other members present then vote for that
person.
Yet, the member voted in has not demonstrated any competence for the
Position ..... see the problem?
The Committee (Board) cannot then function.
