Guest Dan Lawrence Posted March 30, 2012 at 03:01 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 at 03:01 PM Our organizations leadership was presented a budget reduction proposal. Our leadership group motioned, and seconded to presnt the proposal to the generla membership for a vote. Does the general membership have to motion and second again for the vote to take place.Also, does the leadership of the group have the right to make a judgement for themselves if a topic is not covered directly in Roberts Rule.A quick response is appreciated.Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. J. Posted March 30, 2012 at 03:05 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 at 03:05 PM When you say "the leadership," do you mean a board? If so, a reporting member should make a motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ed Posted March 30, 2012 at 03:25 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 at 03:25 PM Who is responsible for approving the Budget? If the Board is responsible, then the meeting would be more for information for the general membership.However, if the general membership has the authority to approve the Budget, then a motion and a seconder would be required.

Guest Dan Lawrence Posted March 30, 2012 at 05:02 PM Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 at 05:02 PM I am speaking of a teachers union. Our School board gave the union leadership a proposal that would help them reduce the budget deficit. Our leadership motioned, seconded, and approved to allow the membership to vote on the proposal. My question is... at that memberhsip meeting do we need another motion to proceed with the vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
