Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Cordwell Again! Msg# 953578

Bill,
I was told that in the past the board has allowed a committee chair to speak regarding the matter at hand. The obvious disregard for the required rules for running a meeting aside, I am curious as to why they would not want additional information on the issue. Speaking of the board's ineptitude regarding how to run a meeting, note that a motion was introduced, seconded, discussed and voted on, in the middle of the GM's report, rather than referring the issue to the secretary to have it brought up in New Business. Bringing a level of professionalism in conducting OPA business is one of my many goals should I have the opportunity and honor of serving OPA on its board of directors. Doug Parks |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Collins, as a part of the discussion, asked that the board suspend the rules to allow the chairman of the Bylaws & Resolutions Committee to address the board on that issue. Cheryl Jacobs, presiding over the meeting, refused Collins' request. Ms. Jacobs, an attorney, has surely heard of Roberts Rules of Order and must be aware that OPA Bylaws REQUIRE that those Rules be followed in the conduct of OPA Board Mettings. A motion to suspend the rules is a formal motion, which when seconded, requires a vote of the Board. The Chair of the meeting cannot simply "refuse" to allow a motion. Where is our Parliamentarian when needed? Oh, wait a minute; it's Tom Terry, which answers the question of why no objection was registered. I guess when your part of the all mighty majority, you can simply live by your own rules and the membership be damned. |
