What do they say about your board of directors; about your advisory board. If they say nothing, you don't have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Goldsworthy Posted January 16, 2011 at 05:52 AM Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 at 05:52 AM what's the difference in a board of directors and an advisory board?The phrase "advisory board" never appears within RONR Tenth Edition (2000).So The Book will be of no value in answering your question.(The word "advisory" appears once in RONR, in the context of the parliamentarian.)***You know what I think?I think "an advisory board" has the primary duty of advising somebody or something.And, that sounds suspiciously like a committee's primary duty -- to tell the superior body what it thinks, but never taking action itself.Such is not the case with a board of directors. A board is a true deliberative assembly, as The Book describes a typical board.But remember that you have no board of directors, except as your bylaws define one. -- Even if it defines your board of directors as an advisory board only.
