O anonymous Posted October 28, 2016 at 08:10 PM Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 at 08:10 PM If an association's government documents are silent on the following: (1) Does RONR require the entire Board's approval or just the Board President's approval to create committees? (2) Does RONR require that the chair of these committees must be Board members? If no, then does RONR require that at least one committee member be a Board director? (3) Does RONR require the Board President to appoint the committee chair? And, if so, does RONR allow the President to appoint himself? (4) Under what circumstances does RONR allow the committee to elect its own chair who may or may not be a director? At issue is an "Election Committee" which association members desired because of their awareness of problems with "improper/defective/botched/fixed" elections in the last three consecutive Board elections. (The first of these three elections seated the current President on the Board when the then-current Board failed to notify the general membership of open directorships and instead endorsed his election, and the last two elections occurred under his administration as President.) This Board President appointed himself chair of this "Election Committee." This, despite the possibility that he, too, may be a candidate for re-election. (In the past, he has appointed himself chair of other association committees, too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
