jstackpo Posted October 21, 2011 at 12:53 AM Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 at 12:53 AM Who elects board members and who is (or is not) eligible to serve should all be spelled out in the bylaws of your organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEntropy Posted October 21, 2011 at 12:54 AM Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 at 12:54 AM The answers to both questions should be found in your particular organizations bylaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ed Posted October 21, 2011 at 01:52 AM Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 at 01:52 AM That is up to the organization to decide. However, most organizations will see their Board elected by the general membership. And yes the grandparent could be elected unless the organization adopts a by-law that states otherwise.

Tim Wynn Posted October 21, 2011 at 02:57 PM Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 at 02:57 PM We have no way of knowing if a grandparent is eligible under the bylaws as they stand.We know that RONR doesn't make an individual ineligible based on his child having a child, and I don't see that RevEd did anything to incorrectly overstate that point.

However, the original poster seemed to be asking a question about eligibility -- a question whose answer could only be determined by someone with knowledge of the organization's bylaws (as Drs. Stackpole and Entropy pointed out ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted October 24, 2011 at 12:29 AM Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 at 12:29 AM True, of course. However, the original poster seemed to be asking a question about eligibility -- a question whose answer could only be determined by someone with knowledge of the organization's bylaws (as Drs. Stackpole and Entropy pointed out ).And as Rev. Ed's entry pointed out for that matter, with the possible exception of the tense of the verb "to adopt".
