Rev Ed Posted February 4, 2015 at 06:48 PM Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 at 06:48 PM It all depends on the By-laws. But RONR does not say have to be any particular way. And the President can only appoint the Chairman (or any other member of a Committee) if the By-laws allow the President to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted February 4, 2015 at 06:49 PM Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 at 06:49 PM Does the chair have to point a chair for a committee? The bylaws may specify how the Committee Chair is selected, or the body populating the Committee may choose who will be the Chair, or if both the bylaws and body are silent on the issue the Committee may choose their own Chair. Or can one volunteer to be the chair?Well, a member can throw his or her hat in the ring for consideration of who will be the Committee Chair but just because someone says he or she wants to do it doesn't mean someone else can't be selected.

CrystalDiamond Posted February 4, 2015 at 07:05 PM Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 at 07:05 PM Thank you all. I wote it up in my Standing Rules that: The committee chair can be selected by the president or can volunteer. Then a vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted February 4, 2015 at 07:07 PM Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 at 07:07 PM The committee chair can be selected by the president or can volunteer. Then a vote. Well, then the committee chair is (s)elected by whoever is doing the voting. The other "selections" are just nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted February 4, 2015 at 07:43 PM Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 at 07:43 PM Thank you all. I wote it up in my Standing Rules that: The committee chair can be selected by the president or can volunteer. Then a vote.I think you should reconsider that wording. Edited to add: For what it's worth, RONR already sets out the rules and methods for selecting committee chairmen. Unless you disagree with those provisions, and if RONR is your parliamentary authority, you don't need any of your own. You might just be creating confusion and uncertainty.
