BOD Executive Sessions

[Guest B.Mills]

What is the proper way to call an executive session? Who calls it? 

 

Should (ALL) elected and appointed members be notified? or should only the partied involved receive the invite?

 

In addition to the above questions, we have several members that have been appointed and not elected.  One of these appointed positions being Secretary.  Although this is an executive position would this person that was appointed be included on the Executive session invite, or should the Asst. Secretary have the invite since that position was elected?

 

I know a doozy,

 

Thanks in advance for all your help!  

[Hieu H. Huynh]

Members of the board have the right to attend board meetings (and be notified). At the meeting, the board could adopt a motion to go into executive session and anyone could be invited by the board to stay.

What is the proper way to call an executive session?

 

You don't really "call an executive session", you call a (special) meeting and then, at the meeting, decide whether to hold that meeting, or a portion thereof, in executive session.

 

As Mr. Huynh noted, all members (of the board) must be notified of the special ("called") meeting and all members (of the board) have the right to attend.

 

Although this is an executive position would this person that was appointed be included on the Executive session invite, or should the Asst. Secretary have the invite since that position was elected?

 

I'm not sure what you mean by an "executive position" but it has nothing to do with holding meetings in executive session. Again, all members of the board have the right to attend board meetings whether they were elected or appointed or are ex officio members of the board. What matters is that they're members of the board, not how they became members of the board.
