Spencer Posted September 17, 2019 at 04:58 AM Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 at 04:58 AM Our Board presides over our general membership meetings. Some members claim we cannot count Board members to establish the required quorum. My interpretation is that the Directors of the Board are members and should be counted toward the quorum. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atul Kapur Posted September 17, 2019 at 06:09 AM Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 at 06:09 AM Well, yes they should count for quorum if they are members. But there is another problem. The board does not attend the meeting as "The Board", and they certainly do not "preside". If they are all members than they are attending the meeting as individual members. Holding an office does not give a member any more or any less (fewer?) rights than any other member at a membership meeting. The President and Secretary usually perform their roles at both board and general meetings, but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this correct? There can only be one presiding officer. The Board has no business presiding over anything. They are not even in session at such a time.
