If you have a Board of Directors then the board members are Directors. If you have a Board of Trustees then the board members are Trustees. You can have a board without it being called an "Executive" Board.You may be thinking of an executive committee (which RONR describes as "a board within a board") but you don't have one of those unless your bylaws say you do.So what do your bylaws say about who is on your board?

Guest Marcia Hadley Posted December 22, 2012 at 01:53 AM Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 at 01:53 AM Our By-Laws say we have Officers,(President, Vice President, Treasurer, Corresponding Seretary, and Recording Secretary) and the Board of Governors,which consists of seven people. We were recently told that a decision concerning changing a meeting date was made by "The Executive Board?"We are confused as to who the 'Executive Board" consists of.There is no mention of an Executive Board in our By-laws.

But that's another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
