Sadly, I have seen many bylaws that include the phrase 'non-voting ex-officio member".

Mr. Gerber, THANK YOU for your answer. It was quite illuminating.

Mr. Martin, I agree that the section in the bylaws should be clarified. Thank you for pointing out the Principles of Interpretation.

Mr. J., the exact wording is:

     "The title of Past President shall be assumed by the President from the year prior, after a new President is installed.  The functions of the Past President are to:    

          A. Serve on the Executive Committee as an ex-officio, non-voting member.  

          B. Serve as an advisor to the current President.    

          C. Perform other duties as directed by the President or the Staff Council. "

And I agree, this section of the bylaws needs addressing

Thank You and Be Well.

Good Morning,

I understand that ex-officio members of a committee have all of the rights of membership.  However, when a member is designated as a 'non-voting ex-officio' member, does that member still have the right to move and second motions?

Thank You and Be Well.
