Guest james Posted July 23, 2015 at 03:51 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 at 03:51 PM I see i nthe FAQ's that the president is a voting member. Our club has a board of directors, and the COB runs the board meetings. It has always been our understanding that the Chair is not considered a voting member and does not count toward the qurom, but could vote in the case of a tie. We have a nine member board counting the COB. We have always had five (not counting COB) as our quorom, nad as i said the COB does not vote except to break a tie. can the COB vote? does the COB count toward a Quorom? we have no rule in our by-laws, but they do state that were there is no By-law Robert's rule will apply... Thank you for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieu H. Huynh Posted July 23, 2015 at 04:10 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 at 04:10 PM In this case, the chairman of the board is in the role of "president" described in FAQ #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted July 23, 2015 at 04:13 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 at 04:13 PM But the board includes the president of the club, as is the past president. so is the COB, the "President" ? if the president is a seperate board member?

Edgar Guest Posted July 23, 2015 at 04:15 PM Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 at 04:15 PM The president of your organization may or may not be the same person as the chairman of your board. The presiding officer of the general membership is typically called the president. The presiding officer of a board is typically called the chairman (or chairperson or chair).

FAQ #1 applies to the presiding officer of the body that is meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for any help.How is the Chairman of the Board selected or elected? Is the Chairman of the Board chosen from the existing member of the Board? It does not matter, in my opinion, what your understanding has always been; what matters (or should matter) is what your governing documents state.
