QUESTION: As a committee chair and a board member, I
make committee reports and special presentations to the board. Do I need to
recuse myself from voting on recommendations I make to the board simply
because I am committee chair?
ANSWER: The only time you need to
recuse yourself is when you have a
conflict of interest,
i.e., when matters come before the board where you or your family will
receive a benefit different from other members of the association.
Otherwise, you can make motions and vote on all matters recommended by
your committee.
