Guest Betty Posted May 15, 2017 at 07:24 PM Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 at 07:24 PM Are there standard business rules about the President and the Treasurer having a personal relationship, is there a conflict of interest rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted May 15, 2017 at 08:15 PM Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 at 08:15 PM RONR contains no such rule. It's possible the relationship might be a factor in debate on the merits of a particular motion, of course. The rules in RONR say that a member should not (rather than must not) vote on a matter of personal or pecuniary interest not common to other members. But the right to vote remains. You may have rules that supersede those in RONR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintCad Posted May 15, 2017 at 08:25 PM Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 at 08:25 PM If there is a perceived conflict of interest then you might want to look at changing the bylaws or standing rule. For example, if the President is the one that does the annual examination of the Treasurer's books them think about having a committee do it instead. The point is that it is up to the membership to determine if there is a conflict of interest and take action accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
