Hieu H. Huynh Posted May 24, 2015 at 06:20 PM Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 at 06:20 PM The board has the powers that the bylaws provide it. Also, the membership may countermand board action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted May 24, 2015 at 08:08 PM Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 at 08:08 PM Elaborating on Hieu's answer, the board has only such powers as are granted to it by the bylaws. If the bylaws grant the board the authority over the affairs of the organization between regular meetings of the membership, for example, then it can probably do so provided the motion is something that the membership could vote on and isn't something reserved to the membership, such as elections. Some organizations give the board only limited authority or the authority only to make recommendations. The answer to your question will be in your bylaws. See Section 56 of RONR re content and composition of bylaws for more information. See also Section 49 regarding Boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
