sMargaret Posted September 19, 2012 at 02:14 PM Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 at 02:14 PM Good heavens, why would it?Your bylaws may require it, though, and by default your bylaws take priority over Robert's Rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edgar Posted September 19, 2012 at 03:08 PM Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 at 03:08 PM It also might not be a bad idea . . .To have an attorney present at every meeting of every board and general membership meeting of every organization?It probably makes more sense to have doctor present. Or a plumber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted September 19, 2012 at 03:58 PM Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 at 03:58 PM It also might not be a bad idea, but it is certainly not required.Actually, unless the attorney happens to be a member of the organization, it does sound like a bad idea (for most organizations, most of the time).IMO.
