See RONR, 10th ed., pg. 573, lines 3-17 for more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Goldsworthy Posted January 3, 2011 at 01:43 AM Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 at 01:43 AM Is an honorary member considered a class of member, if the bylaws authorize designating classes of members?No.The Books says that an honorary member (or an honorary officer) is not a "member" in the parliamentary sense.However, if your bylaws define such people as being a true class of membership, then the default description of The Book won't apply.
