Board meetings

[Guest Frank S.]

Hello, What is the proper seating arrangements for Board members at a Board meeting.

 

At our association Board meetings, two Board members say we should all face the regular members who attend our board meetings. A few of us feel that this  is our meeting and we should be huddled around  the table so we can see and hear each other. Is there anything in the 11th edition regarding this?

 

Please advise, what the proper protocol is.  Thank you.

RONR will not help you with this, other then only members have the right to attend a meeting, and the group holding the meeting (i.e. the Board) need not allow non-members (i.e. the 'regular members') to attend.  If non-members are allows to attend (thanks to a provision in the By-laws or applicable statute), then they could attend.

 

Otherwise, whatever makes life easier for Board members is what should occur.

I particularly like the ending sentence.  It's so Canadian of us.
