Thank you for responding. We have board members who do not wish to speak openly regarding their opinions of issures pretaining to our community. It is my understanding that only personnel matters & member disiplinary actions are to be in Executive Session. All other matters should be discussed in open Board meetings. Is this true?

Diane, Tim's answer is in reference to Robert's viewpoint of an Executive Session, and I believe to be correct. However. if your Board is in the nature of a public governmental entity, they may be effected by a local or state jurisdiction's Sunshine Laws. Generally, these laws may supercede Robert's regarding the nature of business that may be transacted in an Executive Session. If this explaination is applicable in your situation, you should also check with an attorney.
