non-voting officer making a motion or seconding a motion

[Guest Helen Ingher]

Is a non voting officer a member of the club's board of directors if not specified in the by laws?

 

can a non-voting officer make a motion or be allowed to second a motion?

[Edgar Guest]

1. No.

 

2. Only members (of the body that is meeting) have the right to attend meetings (of that body), make motions, engage in debate, and vote.

How do you become a "non-voting officer"?

How do you become a "non-voting officer"?

 

I think Ms. Ingher's second question was predicated on an affirmative answer to the first.

 

All officers are not necessarily members of the board but perhaps some in Ms. Ingher's organization thought they might be, in a non-voting capacity. The fact that they're not spares us the question of whether non-voting members can make motions.
