Brother Seamus Posted December 8, 2021 at 01:59 PM Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 at 01:59 PM Can a church council member that is drawing a salary as “choir director”-also be the Secretary AND the treasurer? this seems like a huge conflict of interest to me also-is it permissible that the ENTIRE council consists of ONE family?

Nothing in RONR prohibits either of those things. Qualifications for holding office should be in the bylaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add on, if the secretary/treasurer is an ex-officio member of the council (which I suspect to be the case), there may be times when s/he is in a position to vote on compensation for the choir director. In such a case, while the council member cannot be compelled not to vote, RONR states that member should not vote, if s/he has a monetary interest in the matter that is not common to the other council members.
