Guest Cristina Posted May 16, 2011 at 02:23 PM Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 at 02:23 PM Our non-profit organization has a nominating committee that compiles a slate of officers for the upcoming year. A family member of one member of the nominating committee members was a nominee. Does that nominating committee member have to recuse himself from deliberating and/or voting for that family member?

A family member of one member of the nominating committee members was a nominee. Does that nominating committee member have to recuse himself from deliberating and/or voting for that family member?No member can be compelled to refrain from voting. See RONR(10th ed.), p. 394, l. 24-25.Also, see RONR(10th ed.), p. 419, l. 27-33. I think the principle can be applied to this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Martin Posted May 16, 2011 at 04:59 PM Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 at 04:59 PM Does that nominating committee member have to recuse himself from deliberating and/or voting for that family member?No member ever has to recuse himself from speaking in debate or voting (except when disciplinary procedures are involved). (RONR, 10th ed., pg. 394, lines 24-25) There are some other circumstances when a member should recuse himself from voting (not from debate), but I don't think this is one of those situations. So far as RONR is concerned, it is entirely appropriate for the member to speak in favor of and vote for himself, so I see no reason why the member should not speak for and vote for the family member. (RONR, 10th ed., pg. 419, lines 27-33; pg. 394, lines 28-31) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
