Guest Anne Posted September 29, 2010 at 06:46 PM Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 at 06:46 PM There are differences on our Board of Directors as to the "legal" role of the Executive Director as an Ex-officio. According to our bylaws, "The Executive Director shall be an ex-officio member of all committees, including the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, and all project teams, but may not vote." Does this mean that the Executive Director has the right like any other Board member to be at all Board meetings (except of course where they are discussing performance and/or salary)? Is there any legal interpretation of ex-officio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert B Fish Posted September 29, 2010 at 08:54 PM Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 at 08:54 PM IMO (and in the opinion of the NAP's Parliamentary Research Committee), if the bylaws say the person is an "ex officio member without the right to vote," then the person retains all the other rights of membership including the rights to attend meetings, make motions and speak in debate. So, what to do when the Personnel Committee is discussing his performance? Ask him to leave the room (and adjust his performance accordingly if he refuses to do so.)-Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
