ex officio voting


Guest mk

Recommended Posts

We have a small not for profit seniors society. There is a manager who is paid by the society to supervise other paid staff and to run programs for seniors. A successful motion was made to make her ex officio to all standing committees. The bylaws do not address ex officio members.

Please advise whether this manager has the right to vote when she attends committee meetings.

Since you're talking about standing committees, take a look at what (if anything) the bylaws say about how how these committees are to be populated. It may be that a plain vanilla motion appointing the manager an ex officio member of all standing committees is not in accordance with the bylaws.

I realize this is coming at your question from a different angle... yes, an ex officio member of a committee has the same rights as any other member; however, you first need to be sure the manager actually is properly a member of the various standing committees.
