Voting rights for non-trustee members Our by-laws name certain committees as committees of the corporation --- "No such committee shall have the authority to bind the board. Members of such committees of the corporation, who may be non-trustees, unless otherwise designated, shall be appointed by the President." Can the non-trustee members of a committee vote if one is called for in the committee? It seems like they could because the committee can't bind the board, however we could see where their vote within a committee might mean that something isn't brought to the full board. Related to this, should we amend the by-laws to specify them as voting/non-voting members of committees? Thank you!	Wednesday, June 2, 2021
