Chris Harrison Posted August 8, 2017 at 05:52 PM Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 at 05:52 PM What do the bylaws say regarding what constitutes a quorum? Also, is the President a member of the body which is meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if he's a member of the group that is meeting. It is the number of members present that are counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Dan Honemann Posted August 8, 2017 at 06:00 PM Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 at 06:00 PM The question then becomes, is he a member, and the answer is yes, he is a member if he is entitled to make motions, to speak in debate, and to vote. If presiding, perhaps he shouldn't do these things, but that does not mean that he is not entitled to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he (or she) is entitled to attend the meeting, as well, and should definitely do that while presiding. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
