Guest Doug Rohrer Posted July 12, 2012 at 07:55 PM Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 at 07:55 PM We have a non profit theater that I am on the board of. We have accepted application to hire a part-time adult to help with the movies on the weekends. One of the person who applied is a relative of one of the board members. They have ruled this person out because of this. Is this the case? Can a relative of a board member still work for the company they are a board member of?Thank you,Doug RohrerMount Ayr, Iowa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ed Posted July 12, 2012 at 09:50 PM Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 at 09:50 PM Unless the By-laws state otherwise, there is no reason why this could not occur. And although Board member cannot even be forced to refrain from voting on any issue relating to the candidate/employee. Again, the By-laws would have to deal with this type of conflict. Of course, the Board, by majority vote, again make the final decision on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
