Chris Harrison Posted June 28, 2010 at 02:43 PM Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 at 02:43 PM Board members (not just the Board officers) have a right to attend. The Board can allow whoever they want to attend subject to any applicable laws or rules or instructions from a superior body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you.According to RONR, only members have a right to attend meetings (in a meeting of an Executive Board, members of the Executive Board have the right to attend). If your bylaws have other rules about who may attend, the bylaws supersede RONR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David A Foulkes Posted June 28, 2010 at 02:55 PM Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 at 02:55 PM I am a member of a 501C3 organization. I would like to know who is permitted to attend the meetings of the Executive Board other than the board officers. Thank you.And do keep in mind there is a rather large difference between "permission" and "entitlement." When any assembly meets (general membership, board, EB, etc) the only people who are "entitled" to attend are members of that assembly. Non-members may be "permitted" to attend at the approval of the assembly, perhaps by unanimous or general consent, or by vote, or even perhaps by simply being there and no one raising any objection.

Jennifer asked who is 'permitted' to attend; I jumped right over that word, and answered a different question... ...sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
