President as committee chair


Guest Bob

Recommended Posts

The By-Laws of the organization that I am a member of contain the usual statement that “the President shall be an ex-officio member of all committees; appointed or elected.”

Does this preclude the President from being selected as the Chair of a committee. (In our organization committee chairs are appointed by the ten members of the Board of Directors.)

Your first cited rule(s) does not say anything about chairmanship.

Your second cited rule says nothing about making the president an exception.

Certainly nothing in Robert's Rules would prevent a president from simultaneously chairing a committee.
