I’m creating a "Roles, Responsibilities, Duties and Obligations" document for each BOD member. But I'm having problems with what our one (1) At-Large member should do for the community. Should he handle "Special Projects"? If you have a job description for your BOD members I would love to see what you have for At-Large members.
Again, Thanks as always. I'm learning so much from this group and I'm feeling much more confident going into our first meeting. |

I like to see a president who engages EACH board member to be active on the Board. I see too much "dead weight" on boards, with people just showing up to hear the latest gossip, and then leaving.
I think that getting every board member involved is a major role of the president.
I like to see every Board member chair or at least be on a committee, too. An At-Large member (please define, is that a non-officer?) could be a liaison to the Community, too.

| BruceD1 - An at large can serve as liaison to a committee or assist with the general duties of Treasurer or Secretary. Certainly the at large should not be let to do nothing as his/her knowledge of the other office responsibilities will only help in the long run. |

Bruce,
The duties that Gerald stated are great things for the "At Large" member. He also can be of great assistance to the Treasure in Budget monitoring and seeking contracts out. Alot of research as for vendors and verifying that these types of services are being done to Board satisfaction are also some other items for him or her to follow up on.
My first Board job was "at large" which was the hardest of all of the positions until I moved up to V.P. Any position on a Board is alot of work if you do your job well but the rewards are so worth it when the wheel runs without a squeek. |

Bruce,
I would suggest that the "At Large" member serve as a special assistant to the President. His duties would include researching and forming proposals for any special problems that exist. Both as they come up and old standing rules or no-rules. He could also serve as parlimentarian at board meetings, review daily financial expenditures each month. And probably most important serve to make the Board and owners aware of how an associations works and why. No one seems to understand that the Mandate of the owners and the Board is to protect the Real Property of the association. This mandate is senior to all others, all actions should meet the test, "Is it good for the Real Property." Understand this and you are way ahead of the game, make everone else understand this and your condo life makes sense. |

"He could also serve as parlimentarian at board meetings"
If he/she does, that person loses his/her voting capability. Parliamentarians are advisory and should act as an impartial consultant to the president and does not vote.
ALL Board members should be aware of basic parliamentary procedures for meetings. The bylaws should state that they are followed, (after laws, documents, bylaws and standing rules.)

Susan,
You are probably right about not having a vote if they are the Parlimentarian. However, to act ask an authority of better yet an advisory capacity when it come to reference at a meeting is another matter. I do think to be a Parlitarian and act as an advisor on Parlitarian affairs are different and see no conflict in the Board using any espertise of any member as long as paymnent is not involved.
