Guest Mark Posted April 15, 2020 at 09:49 PM Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 at 09:49 PM A Nominating Committee requires six members in an organization. The organization has three ex officio members to every committee in the organization. Do the ex officio members count as part of the six required members?

Greg Goodwiller, PRP Posted April 15, 2020 at 10:09 PM Report Share Posted April 15, 2020 at 10:09 PM I think that probably comes down to the wording of your bylaws. Can you give us some direct quotes from the bylaws about the requirements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the rule states that "six voting members... shall be elected at the annual meeting for a term of one year" it seems to me that ex officio members are not included in the six members mentioned in the rule, since ex officio members (by definition) are not elected, but serve by virtue of some other position.

Atul Kapur Posted April 16, 2020 at 02:32 PM Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 at 02:32 PM I believe Rev. Goodwiller wanted also to see the part of your bylaws that put those three ex-officio members on the committee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
