The new president could wind up being a lame duck ... here is why.
the board elects the president at the first board meeting of the new board. typically it is someone on the board. typically you are elected to the board and over your years of service on the board are groomed (so to speak) to be president. you learn the workings of the organization etc.
there are 7 board members with voting capabilites. there is one alternate (cannot vote). if all board members are present for a vote, there should never be a tie unless one member abstains.
now, let's say that someone not on the board (with voting rights) is elected president. he will only have a vote in order to decide a tie, thus never being able to offer a measure for vote, never being able to second a measure and never being able to vote on it.
wouldn't that make the president ineffective and a lame duck?
btw things are fun here in Houston/Harris county. my house is fine except no electricity or water so stating at my sons apt which has everything ( a benefit to living near the medical center ). I have worked a weeks worth of time in 3 days. the next 4 days will be for mucho overtime. hope andy and marty are okay have not heard from them.
