Guest Doug Kersey Posted January 13, 2011 at 02:02 AM Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 at 02:02 AM We had a meeting tonight and someone from the group made a motion to restrict unpaid members to the meetings....We have a by-law already that members must be paid up prior to attending meetings...I'm asking, Is it necessary to have such a motion and shouldn't the executive have the right to discuss the problem with the offending new members?Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not free to 'discuss' them and then take the action he feels is needed. The chairman cannot waive vules in your bylaws unless the bylaws themselves give him the righ tto do so.-Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
