Guest Janet Mallan Posted February 25, 2011 at 12:17 AM Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 at 12:17 AM At our not-for-profit all volunteer association members are permitted to attend board meetings. Are they allowed to participate in the discussion of agenda items or must they remain as observers only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A motion to Suspend the Rules (2/3 vote without debate) would be required to let the non-board members speak in debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Ms. Mallan only said that they were permitted to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know if that's just a misconception about RONR or if it is a rule of the assembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
