Our Chair wants to resign but remain on the committee.
1. Is the committee obligated to nominate a new Chair or can that position remain empty?
2. Do we have to hold an EGM to nominate a new Chair? (We just had our AGM last week.)
3. Is it an option for the existing Secretary or Treasurer to rescind their role and nominate themselves for Chairperson?

Hi Smokeye
They can resign as chair and stay on the committee. The positions of Chair, Secretary and Treasurer are positions within the committee. The committee decide who fills those positions. You could have someone fill one or all the positions if the committee approves to do so. There is no need for a General meeting, at the next committee meeting just let the committee decide on the positions.

All true but I think the vacation of the chair and election of a new one would have to be on the agenda for the committee meeting. And yes, one person can hold multiple offices.
