Chris Harrison Posted June 25, 2010 at 01:04 AM Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 at 01:04 AM RONR p. 629 says:Any nonmembers allowed in the hall during a meeting, as guests of the organization, have no rights with reference to the proceedings (p. 625).By nonmembers I mean anyone who is not a Board member.However, the Board is free to allow nonmember participation as they desire (subject to any superior rules or laws).

Rob Elsman Posted June 25, 2010 at 01:06 AM Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 at 01:06 AM No rule in RONR entitles a non-member to attend board meetings or speak. The board can invite a non-member to attend, give a presentation, or make a report by majority vote, but a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules is necessary for a non-member to speak in debate on a pending question. See RONR (10th ed.), pp. 93, 255, 625. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ed Posted June 25, 2010 at 03:01 PM Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 at 03:01 PM An example of when th Board may allow an owner to attend and speak at a Board meeting would be when the Board and the owner have a disagreement over an issue and the Board believes that it would be beneficial to have an "official" discussion. Another, likely more common example, would be when a Committee Chairman is presenting a Report on behalf of a Committee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Martin Posted June 26, 2010 at 04:34 PM Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 at 04:34 PM Another, likely more common example, would be when a Committee Chairman is presenting a Report on behalf of a Committee.No motion would be required for that if the reports of committees are included in the board's order of business, which is usually the case.
