A Committee Question

[boxtops]

If a person is an elected officer on a committee for a voluntary organisation, what happens when they stand down, in your experience - do they have a vote on their replacement at the AGM, or does their ability to vote on the committee die as soon as they stand down from re-election? The person concerned is leaving the organisation at the AGM when the new chairman will be appointed.

Thanks DB - sorry, i wasn't clear. Interested people do put themselves forward for committee but they can't just turn up, there is an induction process and they are asked to join as and when new members are needed.

Thanks to you all for your advice - all food for thought.
