Guest Alan Prenoveau Posted September 2, 2011 at 12:44 PM Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 at 12:44 PM Several months ago, our Board reviewed and voted on an issue. One of the members of our organization has requested time before the Board to present his position on this issue. We have granted him the time.The Board stands by its decision and does not want to vote on the issue again.My question stems from the possibility that this member may want to re-introduce this issue by putting a motion before the Board for consideration. So, my question is....Is a non-Board member - who is attending a Board meeting to present his position on an issue - allowed to introduce a motion for Board consideration?

Chris Harrison Posted September 2, 2011 at 01:10 PM Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 at 01:10 PM Only members of the body which is meeting have any rights regarding the proceedings which includes making motions (RONR p. 3, p. 628). The Board in theory could Suspend the Rules and allow a nonmember (of the Board) to make a motion but from what you say that doesn't seem to be in the cards.
