David A Foulkes Posted October 13, 2010 at 06:42 PM Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 at 06:42 PM To elaborate on Mr. Mountcastle's succint and generally correct answer, in (board) meetings of about a dozen or fewer members in attendance, the rules are relaxed a bit allowing the chair to make motions, engage in debate and vote more freely. So, if your board has 30 members but no more than about a dozen are at any meeting, the chair does have the liberty to be more fully involved. See pages 470-471 in RONR 10th Edition for more on this.
