Guest Tom Posted May 20, 2014 at 08:03 PM Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 at 08:03 PM Is it consistent with RR for a board to refuse to give members access to a list of the membership of the organization? Our board refuses to tell the members who is and who is not a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our board refuses to tell the members who is and who is not a member. Unless the bylaws give the board exclusive power in this matter, the membership can instruct the board to let members see the list. The board need not comply with the individual member's request without such an instruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Posted May 26, 2014 at 01:56 AM Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 at 01:56 AM On pages 459 and 460, RONR talks about the right of members to have access to the records, specifically the reports and minutes. In many organizations, the list of members is extracted from the minutes and put in a convenient form, rather than being an official document in and of itself. If that is the case, the membership shouldn't have to tell the board to reveal the information, it is the right of a member to request the information from the secretary of the organization and the secretary has a responsibility to let the member see the records.
