Guest Deb Daisay Posted June 18, 2010 at 09:17 PM Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 at 09:17 PM In a Board of three members, an executive session motion was made to remove the third member of the Board due to inappropriate conduct. Can the Chair second a motion? Can he make the motion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted June 18, 2010 at 09:21 PM Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 at 09:21 PM In Boards of a dozen members or less present the Chair can exercise his rights as fully as any other member and seconds aren't required (RONR pp. 470-471).

Can the Chair second a motion? Can he make the motion?Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR 10th ed.) has a subset of rules for "small boards and committees" where . . .(a.) no seconds are necessary.(b.) the chair does make motions.You have a three-member board. That is less than the "about of dozen" RONR describes where the subset of rules would apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted June 18, 2010 at 09:22 PM Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 at 09:22 PM In a "small board" (three counts as "small") seconds to motions are not required. RONR p. 470.But whether the two of you can "remove" the third member via a "motion" -- remove from what? -- is something your bylaws will have to answer. Check them carefully - you can be sure your third member will be doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
