Legal Question in Business Law in Indiana

I belong to a club which bylaws say the treasurer shall have access to all funds and the checking account can be signed by treasurer or president (only one signature). Shortly after I became treasurer and got both names so we could write checks if needed the chairman withdrew a sum and put it in a certificate in the club's name but only with his signature. I have NO access to this amount......don't know length or % and bank can give me no info since my name isn't on the account What can we do?

He lives in Oregon and made bylaws in that state and I live in Indiana. Money is in bank with offices in both states. Thanks for any help!

If your recitation of the facts is correct, the chairman (which I assume you mean to be president) is in violation of the bylaws. If he won't honor a request to abide by the rules, you need to consult with an attorney. You also need to determine whether the amount involved is worth the legal proceeding.
