Robert B Fish Posted September 2, 2011 at 01:08 PM Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 at 01:08 PM Your boss is not correct (viz. wrong). He is incorrectly interpreting the word 'executive' without consulting RONR. See page 93.All members of the group that is meeting have the right to attend meetings (including those in executive session), to make motions, to speak in debate and to vote.-Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During executive session, only members, special invitees, and others who have been determined to be necessary are allowed to attend. See RONR (10th ed.), p. 92-93.Find your Robert's Rules book.
