Demack Posted January 19, 2014 at 04:19 PM Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 at 04:19 PM At our last association board meeting a person from the floor , not in open forum, shouted out point of order was recognized by the chair and continued with a lengthy statement. At a board meeting not a general membership meeting is this allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edgar Posted January 19, 2014 at 04:23 PM Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 at 04:23 PM It's allowed at any meeting if the person raising the point of order is a member of the body that is meeting (in this case, a member of the board). (Though I'm not sure that "shouting" is appropriate.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demack Posted January 19, 2014 at 04:31 PM Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 at 04:31 PM The person raising the point of order was not a member of the board of directors but is an association member. This was a board meeting not a general membership meeting. Therefore I guess my question is can a person from the general membership interrupt a board meeting with a call for a point of order , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Lages Posted January 19, 2014 at 07:29 PM Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 at 07:29 PM Note also that, even if this person was a member of the board, 'a lengthy statement' is very likely not appropriate as a point of order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
