janita Posted November 15, 2016 at 05:08 AM Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 at 05:08 AM Is it appropriate for the President of an Association to also be the Chair or Co-Chair of one of the Standing Committees of the Association. In our Association, the Committees report to the Board and make recommendations to the Board. There is nothing in our by-laws on this subject.

Kim Goldsworthy Posted November 15, 2016 at 07:43 AM Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 at 07:43 AM Robert's Rules of Order warns against the use of "co-chairs". A vice chair is the second-in-command where the regular chair of a committee cannot attend. *** Q. Who does the appointing? How or when will your President become a co-chair of one of your Standing Committees? I think you will answer your own question if the appointing party is who I think it is.

And to be clear, you do not have co-chairs (or co-anythings) unless they are explicitly authorized in your bylaws. You can have a vice-chair.
