Guest WGard7776 Posted March 22, 2017 at 03:14 AM Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 at 03:14 AM Can the by laws stipulate that ex officio board members do not have voting privileges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstackpo Posted March 22, 2017 at 07:58 AM Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 at 07:58 AM But be careful what you wish for. Depending on how your bylaws are phrased, all your elected officers may well be (technically) ex officio members of the Board of Directors.

Tom Coronite Posted March 22, 2017 at 11:26 AM Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 at 11:26 AM A word of caution borne of experience: in our current bylaws, ex officio members are prohibited from voting. It often leads to time-consuming discussions about whether they count towards quorum, whether they can or cannot make motions, can they second a motion... And I have yet to see any benefit in our context to prohibiting these members from voting on boards or committees. If you have a good reason, you can certainly have such a rule in your bylaws. Ask yourself many times if it's a good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
