Hieu H. Huynh Posted January 5, 2015 at 03:30 PM Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 at 03:30 PM Does the Board or the President appoint the Chair of a Committee? Do your bylaws say that the board or the president can appoint the chair of a committee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted January 5, 2015 at 03:31 PM Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 at 03:31 PM Does the Board or the President appoint the Chair of a Committee? Is this a committee of the board? A committee of the general membership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 5, 2015 at 03:36 PM Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 at 03:36 PM This is a Committee of the board (example Finance Comm of a HOA). Does the Pres. of the HOA appoint the Chair or does the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted January 5, 2015 at 03:39 PM Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 at 03:39 PM This is a Committee of the board (example Finance Comm of a HOA).Well it's either a committee of the board or a committee of the association. Is this committee mentioned in your bylaws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 5, 2015 at 03:48 PM Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 at 03:48 PM The bylaws just stipulate that a committee shall be appointed by the board, it doesn't designate how the Chair is assigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted January 5, 2015 at 03:54 PM Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 at 03:54 PM Does the Board or the President appoint the Chair of a Committee? Maybe. It depends on your bylaws, the type of committee, and the way the committee was formed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case the board would designate the chair. If a chair is not designated when the committee is appointed, the committee has the right to elect its own chair.

If there's no special rule, then the general rule is that the authority that appoints the members of the committee appoints the chair of the committee. If the board, for whatever reason, chose not to name a chairman, the first-named person on the list of members is the temporary chairman who should call the first meeting and hold an election for a committee chair. (Just FYI, when the president appoints a committee, the first-named member is the chairman of the committee. Your society might never have that situation.)

Is their position temporary or?How does a new chair get appointed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
