What does Robert's Rules say about an elected officer also serving as a the chair for a standing committee? The Organizations Bylaws state: In addition to the elected officers, the President, with the approval of the executive staff, may appoint the following non-voting chairs to the Board. The issue is as an elected officer the person is a voting member of the board, but as a Chair they are non-voting - so when moving into executive session - non-voting members must leave the room. However, if the person is also an elected officer - how is this resolved? From what the Bylaw above states - I interpret it to mean that an elected officer cannot serve as a Chair ("In addition to...") - but does not explicitly state that? Any insights or help would be appreciated!
