Guest Jane S Posted June 22, 2021 at 04:04 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 at 04:04 PM If a motion comes out of a committee to the full board, i.e., motion to approve the budget by the finance committee, is a second required? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Lages Posted June 22, 2021 at 04:31 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 at 04:31 PM Not if the committee consists of more than one person. But for small boards (not more than about a dozen members present), seconds are not required at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jane S Posted June 22, 2021 at 05:15 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 at 05:15 PM Thank you, Bruce. Can you direct me to the specific chapter/page in the Roberts' Rules of Order (newly revised, In Brief) that states this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Mervosh Posted June 22, 2021 at 05:42 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 at 05:42 PM In case Mr. Lages is out on his boat fishing, RONR (12th ed.), 4:11 and 49:21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Elsman Posted June 22, 2021 at 05:46 PM Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 at 05:46 PM With respect to the "relaxed" rules for small boards, see RONR (12th ed.) 49:21. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but we both missed that she requested a citation from In Brief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
