Chris Harrison Posted November 3, 2012 at 02:21 AM Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 at 02:21 AM Only members of the body which is meeting have a right to attend meetings (RONR p. 3, p. 644 ll. 22-28). However, the Board can allow nonmembers to attend, or the General Membership can order that the Board allow those in the General Membership to attend, or the bylaws (or applicable rules or law) can grant certain classes of people (or everyone) the right to attend Board meetings.

Guest Edgar Posted November 3, 2012 at 02:23 AM Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 at 02:23 AM Are board meeting open to all in the membership?Only if the board chooses to open it (or the bylaws or some other superior rule or law) requires it. RONR doesn't. Per RONR, only members of the body that is meeting have any parliamentary rights (including the right to attend). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not without either a rule to that effect or the permission of (a majority of) the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
