ttraider88 Posted April 27, 2023 at 11:35 PM Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 at 11:35 PM We had board elections in April. Our bylaws state that "Executive board members (elected or appointed) shall serve a term of one service year. A service year is from June 1 through May 31." Are the newly elected board members allowed to vote on anything the current executive board is considering or do they have to wait until their official term begins June 1st?

It would be at the discretion of the current but outgoing board unless your rules give non-board members the right to attend board meetings. Permission to speak can be granted by a majority vote (or by unanimous consent). The right to debate would require a suspension of the rules by a two/thirds vote.
