I'll send out a mass e-mail to all members to let them know ahead of time but won't say why we're doing this. My treasurer has been a godsend at helping me with meetings and workshops. She's loaded with ideas and suggestions. Is it possible for someone to hold 2 offices? LOL. As to me not knowing if there are by-laws, I've only been in office since January and our former president has been traveling. I never thought to ask for a printout of the by-laws and they have never been discussed at any previous meetings in the last 5 years since I've been member.
I don't think that Robert's Rules allow for a single person holding 2 offices. Beyond that, how do you ever break a tie vote??? Happened to me at one point when I was Treasurer as well as Past President (who is a recognized board member in our organization) - didn't work well and created the need for yet another by-law change!
