Yes sir. I understand. I have made that request for interpretation and I absolutely intend to work on modifications. Thank you for your (and the other) replies. Respecfully

I’d gladly provide them if appropriate

I understand - for clarification the nomination committee isn’t viewed as a standing committee and usually isn’t officially appointed until September/October - the only standing committee identified in our by-laws is the executive committee.

I understand that, and I have posed that question to the organization (the way our by-laws dictate).... Our By-Laws, regarding the Nomination committee give the president the power to appoint the committee and they are what they are today.... but it also renders any member ineligible for any office..... Is it a reasonable opinion that his engagement as an ex-officio member due to the language used in the by-law make him ineligible? it says "no one on the nomination committee" which should equally apply to members and ex-officio members who engage in the discussions and deliberations of the committee....

I dont understand your question...... if our bylaws state no one on the nomination committee is eligible to run for office.... and the President chooses to engage in his ex-officio status as a member of the committee would/ or at least should render him ineligible.... that is my question

Hi everyone, first time poster I am a member of a volunteer fire company in PA governed by a Constitution and By-Laws. Our By-Laws adopt RROR when a topic is not covered by them. Article III, Section 5 of our by-laws state ""President shall appoint a nomination committee of five members. No one on the nomination committee will be eligible to run for any office." Our By-Laws also permit the president to serve as an ex-officio of all committees.... Our president exercised his privilege to attended and engage in the discussions and deliberations of the committee AND is also running for re-election as president of the organization.... My question is - due to him choosing to engage in conduct as an ex-officio member of the nomination committee - does our by-law render him ineligible to run for any office?
