CB2 Posted April 1, 2020 at 04:57 PM Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 at 04:57 PM So I have a question. Some of the job descriptions will state some like you need to have a committee that consists of: Example below 6 people 1. The chair person, a vice chair, a member at large and 3 members in good standing that are advisers (from a parent organisation). However, this is not listed in the bylaws at all that we need to have these 3 members. So our questions is do the bylaws over rule the job description on this or no? Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bylaws take precedence over other rules of the society. I am not certain, however, that there is a conflict. If the bylaws are simply silent on the composition of this committee, then I don't see anything preventing the organization from defining its composition in lower-level rules. On the other hand, if the bylaws define the composition of the committee, I agree that takes precedence over anything in the organization's other rules which may be in conflict.

Gary Novosielski Posted April 1, 2020 at 07:50 PM Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 at 07:50 PM This may or may not be significant, but were the job descriptions approved by the assembly, or just written by somebody without official approval. I don't think that a job description could create a committee unless it was approved by a body with the power to create committees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
