Atul Kapur Posted April 29, 2021 at 03:33 PM Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 at 03:33 PM Under RONR, all members are equal. This sounds like it is coming from corporate law, and you will need to consult the relevant legislation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted April 29, 2021 at 04:56 PM Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 at 04:56 PM I agree with Dr. Kapur that without more of a background it is hard to answer the question. I suppose it is conceivable, but I have no idea as to a reason for doing it. Perhaps it is to give the directors some special rights or privileges.

Not sure what exactly you want. Boardmembers and officers have a fiduciary duty towards the organisation Also do you include ex-boardmembers , officers and ex-officers in this class? If it is only for present boardmembers and officers it might be better to add it to the bylaws articles on boardmembers than to make a new class of members. If you want to give them special rights regarding quorum or voting then a special class of members might be needed. What exactly does the organisation want this class for?

That would depend on what rules you make that apply in different ways to different classes of member. In any organization with a board, directors and other officers are already differentiated by virtue of being members of the board, which general members of the organization are not. Assuming that all the members of the board are also members of the general membership then in that way they are the same as other members (except while the board is meeting). If that's not enough of a distinction, then I'd have to ask what sort of consequences are you trying to create? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
