This article discusses whether an elected chair can resign and remain on the committee and how the change can be managed.
Question: Can the chairman who was elected at the AGM, resign from the executive position and become an ordinary committee member without first going to a general meeting?
Answer: Technically this may be possible.
Technically this may be possible. If the Chair resigns, their position becomes vacant and needs to be filled by the Committee within a month or a general meeting has to be held. If the committee appoint an ordinary member as the new chair their position needs to be filled in turn and the committee could appoint the previous chair to that spot. It’s a roundabout way of doing it and depending on the nature of your scheme a general meeting might be a more transparent way of handling the transition.
