At the April LCRCC meeting the Executive Board presented some interesting things to the Body.
They presented to us that Robert's Rules of Order are part of our By-Laws
That is True
They presented to us that the Secretary is the Custodian of the Membership Records
That is also True
They presented to us that therefore the Secretary should be in Charge of the Membership & Meeting Set Up Team
We said wait just a minute.
Just because someone is for instance the Custodian of a Building.
It does not necessarily follow that they Run the Building.
The Secretary is the Custodian of the Membership Records just like they are the Custodian of the Minutes
But in neither case do they generate the information to be stored, they recieve it
The Minutes are the Records of the Meeting Proceedings
As for the Membership Records.
Elected Committee Persons will appear on the Form As filled out at a Caucus. A copy of the each Precinct is to be given to the Secretary
Committee Persons appointed by the Body will appear in the LCRCC Minutes, as will those appointed by the Body to be Assisatant Commitee Persons.
In all cases the Body generates the information and it is stored by the Secretary in Partnership.
For you see, it is the duty of the Exective Board to Advise and Assist the Body
The Exective Board per our County Constitution is Under the Orders of the Body.
It would therefore IMO be improper for a portion of the Exective Board, the Secretary, to have Authority over a portion of the Body the Membership & Meeting Set Up Team.
Particularly when you consider that the Exective Officers do not have to even BE members of the Central Committee.
Far better to have it the way we handled it at the April Meeting making the Secretary an Ex Officio member of the Team
Robert's Rules of order are satisfied, our By Laws are satisfied, our Constitution is satisfied.
And to answer the Quesiton given by the Title?
Who Guards the Guardians?
the Membership & Meeting Set Up Team for One,.
