Richard Brown Posted February 19, 2015 at 12:08 AM Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 at 12:08 AM No, the president has no authority to appoint an executive assistant and any person so appointed is not a member of the board and has no voting rights. Note: The president can ask anyone he wants to to help him with various things, but this is an informal arrangement between the president and his unofficial assistant and conveys no special rights or privileges on the assistant.

The "Executive Assistant" is not part of this list, and is therefore not a member of the board and has none of the rights associated with board membership.No, the president has no authority to appoint an executive assistant and any person so appointed is not a member of the board and has no voting rights. Note: The president can ask anyone he wants to to help him with various things, but this is an informal arrangement between the president and his unofficial assistant and conveys no special rights or privileges on the assistant.Well, it may well be that the bylaws authorize the President to appoint an Executive Assistant, although it is certainly true that nothing in RONR gives the President this authority. In any event, I concur that this person is not a member of the board and has no voting rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
