Guest Deb Nelson Posted May 11, 2017 at 03:57 PM Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 at 03:57 PM When drafting a new policy is there a required amount of time that the board must be notified in advance of approving it at a board meeting?

Josh Martin Posted May 11, 2017 at 04:13 PM Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 at 04:13 PM It depends on the nature of the policy. Amendments to the bylaws require the notice specified in your bylaws. New special rules of order (rules related to meeting procedure) require notice to be given at the previous meeting, or included in the call of the meeting. New standing rules (rules not related to the bylaws or meeting procedure) do not require any notice, unless your rules so provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they don't absolutely require such notice, since they may be adopted without such notice by the vote of a majority of the entire membership.

I have been the member of more than one board that continually operated under this principle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
