Guest Ann Posted March 1, 2012 at 03:52 AM Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 at 03:52 AM Our by laws call for our ED to be an ex officio member of the Executive Council of the board. The by laws do not specifically say the ED is a member of the board. If the Executive Council is the heart of the board, wouldn't it follow that you could not be a member without being a member of the board at large?

David A Foulkes Posted March 1, 2012 at 12:05 PM Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 at 12:05 PM Ex officio status is the side door into membership. It allows someone who normally wouldn't be a member to be a member. Heck, even Edgar could be an ex-officio member of your Executive Council, if the bylaws were written that way, as they are for your ED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your bylaws don't make such a statement, then the ED is simply a member of the Executive Council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
