Guest Suzanne DeBerry Posted June 23, 2010 at 08:33 PM Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 at 08:33 PM Hello,This question refers to a church board of trustees. Per our Constitution and Bylaws the senior minister is ex officio on the board. Can the sr minister be elected to a board officer or trustee position? If so the ex officio status would be void we are assuming. Correct?Thank you,Suzanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted June 23, 2010 at 08:48 PM Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 at 08:48 PM Do your Constitution and Bylaws say he is qualified to serve on the Board (other than as an ex officio member) or officer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct?No, his ex-officio status would not be changed by his being elected to an office. And he already has a "trustee position" since he's, ex officio, a trustee.

Ex-officio members have a vote, and even if the person filled two positions, there would still only be one vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-officio members have a vote, and even if the person filled two positions, there would still only be one vote.I suspect Ms. DeBerry is asking whether an ex-officio member of a board can be elected to an officer position (e.g. secretary) on the board. And, of course, the answer is yes.She may also be uncertain as to whether an ex-officio member of the board (of trustees) is considered to be a trustee. Again, the answer is yes.
