Guest Fran Posted March 30, 2017 at 06:03 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 at 06:03 PM When a Board meeting is being held and a confidential point is being discussed, should all non-Board members be excused from the room until the discussion has ended. Are former Board members who are familiar with the confidential matter allowed to be in the Board room when the discussion is going on? They can not vote, only give their opinion.

George Mervosh Posted March 30, 2017 at 06:06 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 at 06:06 PM The board has complete discretion in this matter. It can adopt a motion to go into executive session, which imposes a level of secrecy to the proceedings and it can, then, decide which non-members it wishes to have remain in the meeting.

I believe the motion to go into executive session could also include a list of those invited to remain; that is, this sounds as though an assembly can only consider that question once they're in executive session.

It was not intended to sound like that, so thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
