Guest Dee Dee Posted June 4, 2015 at 02:35 AM Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 at 02:35 AM Hello, I am a member of an organization that has a subcommittee (that consists of past presidents); and they have been holding meetings to discuss some organization improprieties. With that, they submitted a report the current President, VP, an Secretary in an Executive Board meeting; however, they cited Virginia Law as a reason why they were not distributing the report throughout the meeting. They also used this same citing to suggest we were not allowed to submit this document to other members of the organization. If the material was based on organization impropriety, shouldn't this document be open to all financial members? Does a privacy citing prohibits the organization from reviewing the document?

Chris Harrison Posted June 4, 2015 at 02:53 AM Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 at 02:53 AM Your question is of law rather than parliamentary procedure. So, I would suggest you ask those making the claim to show you chapter and verse of the law they are citing and/or talk to a lawyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted June 4, 2015 at 05:55 AM Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 at 05:55 AM I agree with Mr. Harrison that, based on your comments, this seems to be more of a legal question than a parliamentary question. I would insist on seeing the law they claim to be relying on. There is no rule in RONR that justifies what you described. In RONR land, no one or two or three officers can control any business of an organization. It's members (or sometimes its board of directors or executive board) have the final word.
