Voting

[Guest Chris S]

Can you tell me what the rules are with respect to a member of a Board attending a Board Committee meeting, for which they are not a member. If the person attends the meeting on their own accord, and is not making up for quorum, if the Committee agrees, is that person allowed to participate in discussions at the Committee meeting and have voting privileges? Thank you.

To permit a non-member to debate a pending question, the rules must first be suspended by a two-thirds vote, but the rules may not be suspended to extend to a non-member a privilege to vote.

Thank you Rob. It is appreciated.
