Hieu H. Huynh Posted February 28, 2017 at 10:41 PM Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 at 10:41 PM No rule in RONR prohibits it. Any such prohibition would have to be found in your rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undefined. In the current edition of Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised, the term "advisor" is used exactly once, in relation to the parliamentarian. Q. What is "an advisor to the board"? -- Is this an elected position? An appointed position? An officer position? A committee of one? Q. Is the position defined in your bylaws? -- Do you have "an advisor to the general membership"? *** If the position is undefined in your bylaws, then I would think you are free to elect/appoint anyone to any undefined position. "Grand Poo-Bah" comes to mind, if you are a fan of Gilbert & Sullivan, or The Flintstones. -- "Grand Nagus", if you are a Star Trek fan. No parliamentary rule in Robert's Rules will stop you from electing a Grand Nagus to advise the board. Or, to advise anybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
