Josh Martin Posted May 8, 2011 at 06:26 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 at 06:26 PM Standing committee? or ad-hoc?Either way, the President doesn't have the authority to create it unless the Bylaws grant him that authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tctheatc Posted May 8, 2011 at 11:05 PM Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 at 11:05 PM I know that, Josh!! I was just asking the op out of curiosity, wondering how egregious the offense was. I guess I was thinking forming a special committee on one's own might be a bit more forgivable. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
