Guest DIANA Posted February 25, 2018 at 08:26 PM Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 at 08:26 PM A board meeting was held in February and a subject came up that I mulled over and brought the subject up at the March meeting. Two of the board members were not at the March meeting and one of the board members who was present in February was not present in March. Due to the absence of the board member who was present in February, but not in March, one board member didn't think we should discuss the subject at hand and another board member who was present at both meetings stated that he had thoughts but didn't want to comment until the absent board member was there. Your thoughts?? We have seven board members....five members were present at each meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieu H. Huynh Posted February 25, 2018 at 08:36 PM Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 at 08:36 PM The board could validly take action at the meeting if a quorum is present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Katz Posted February 25, 2018 at 08:37 PM Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 at 08:37 PM No one has to make comments, but if you made a motion it should have been voted on, unless someone made and the board adopted a motion to postpone. This is why meetings should involve making motions, not bringing things up and talking about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted February 25, 2018 at 09:00 PM Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 at 09:00 PM Agreeing with my colleagues, the board had every right to take up the matter in March, but there is also nothing wrong with postponing the matter if that is what a majority of the board members present want to do. All that matters is whether you have a quorum. it doesn't matter who was or was not at a particular meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
