Guest Crystal Posted January 11, 2015 at 04:12 AM Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 at 04:12 AM Is there a place I can read or find information on The Executive board members being family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted January 11, 2015 at 04:35 AM Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 at 04:35 AM Not in RONR, because it has nothing to say about family members being on an executive board or serving in any other capacity. Whether to have people who are related on an executive board is up to the people doing the appointing or electing.... unless there is a prohibition in the bylaws.

Richard Brown Posted January 11, 2015 at 04:46 AM Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 at 04:46 AM So Mr. Richard Brown, the President can appoint his wife as treasurer?If he has the power to appoint the treasurer, yes..... but does he have that power? Aren't your officers elected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crystal Posted January 11, 2015 at 02:33 PM Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 at 02:33 PM No Mr. Brown, they were just put in place, in five years there has never been an election. I am the chair of the Bylaws committee and trying to learn as much as I can. There is too much family on the executive board and we have had unaccounted funds missing and I would hate to have to call the police in the midst of our next meeting. I know when it is all said and done it's up to the members to vote first who is on the executive board. We pay dues every month and our money is used for things that have never been tabled or voted upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted January 11, 2015 at 07:36 PM Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 at 07:36 PM How were the officers "just put in place"? Does your organization have bylaws? Do those bylaws provide for elections? It is up to the membership to insist that the rules are followed. I suggest that if you don't already have it that you get a copy of RONR (The Right Book) http://www.robertsrules.com/book.html and that you and all members who are interested in doing things the right way also get a copy of RONR in Brief: http://www.robertsrules.com/inbrief.html The membership has ultimate control of the organization, not the president. If this organization has no bylaws, then it seems your bylaws committee needs to get busy post-haste and come up with a set of bylaws! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Crystal Posted January 11, 2015 at 09:48 PM Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 at 09:48 PM Yes, sir. I volunteered for the bylaw committee. I have four others working with me. We are amending them and we all five have the 11th edition of the Ro. Their original bylaws were not adhered to, because they were copied and pasted from someone else's and not followed. We are trying. We use the RONR as a reference, but can't fine everything, so that is why I am asking and I thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No salesman will call.And it's MUCH easier to use the forum as a member as well as having additional bells and whistles available to members. The two biggest advantages are no longer having to fool with those blasted captchas when posting and the private messaging feature available only to members. btw, it doesn't matter where your current bylaws came from. If they were adopted by your organization, they are your current bylaws and should be followed until amended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Martin Posted January 12, 2015 at 12:58 AM Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 at 12:58 AM No Mr. Brown, they were just put in place, in five years there has never been an election. I am the chair of the Bylaws committee and trying to learn as much as I can. There is too much family on the executive board and we have had unaccounted funds missing and I would hate to have to call the police in the midst of our next meeting. I know when it is all said and done it's up to the members to vote first who is on the executive board. We pay dues every month and our money is used for things that have never been tabled or voted upon. As was originally noted, there is no prohibition in RONR against members of the board being related to each other. I'm far more concerned about the fact that the President appointed the Treasurer and the other members of the board were "just put in place," by some method which is not yet clear, and that there has not been an election in the past five years. None of this is at all proper unless specified by the bylaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
