Question of the Week
We’re in the process of reviewing our Medical Staff Bylaws, so we need to get the Bylaws Committee up and running. The Bylaws state that the Bylaws Committee will be chaired by the Vice President of the Medical Staff, but the Vice President resigned a few months ago. Should the President of the Medical Staff just appoint another Bylaws Committee chair? Or should it be the MEC that appoints the chair? Or should the Bylaws Committee just vote on a new chair?
