Chris Harrison Posted November 21, 2011 at 04:21 PM Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 at 04:21 PM NoI seem to recall reading here that Official Interpretations 2006-12 & 13 have equal applications to the Board's relationship with the Executive Committee as the Board's with the General Membership. Does my recollection stand up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does my recollection stand up?I think so. Isn't the answer still "no" there regarding overruling the society? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bruce Milliken Posted November 21, 2011 at 08:17 PM Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 at 08:17 PM This seems to apply between membership and boards. Is there a section relating Executive to overall Board. Can one override the another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a section relating Executive to overall Board. Can one override the another?RONR describes the executive committee as "a board within a board" so the analogy to Official Interpretations 2006-12 and 2006-13 would seem appropriate.

George Mervosh Posted November 21, 2011 at 08:34 PM Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 at 08:34 PM Here is what the 10th said Bruce (I don't have the 11th here at work) :" In a society where the board is large or its members must travel from a distance to meet, it is usual for the bylaws to establish an executive committee composed of a specified number of board members, which shall have all or much of the power of the board between meetings (just as the board has all the power of the society between the society's meetings), but which cannot modify any action taken by the board (just as the board cannot modify any action taken by the society)." RONR 10th p. 468Unless the Fab Five drastically altered this in the 11th, and I don't think they did, this should be clear enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
