QUESTION:
Our board elected two vice-presidents, in addition to a president, secretary and treasurer! Is it legal to have two vice-presidents??
ANSWER: It is perfectly legal to
have two vice-presidents. It is not unusual for boards to designate one
director as "1st Vice-President" and another as "2nd Vice-President."
When the President can't attend, the 1st VP runs the meeting. When
the President and 1st VP both miss a meeting, the 2nd VP steps in. (
Robert's Rules, 11th ed., pp. 457-458.)
