Emeritus - (revision September 13, 2005) The Emeritus Deacon category was
adopted in 1987 to honor those deacons who have given outstanding, meritorious,
and loyal service to the church and to the board of deacons, and who have attained
the age of 75 years. The current deacon chairman, the pastor and three of the most
recent deacon chairmen nominate Emeritus Deacons. If approved by the board, the
nominees are presented tot the church for approval. Emeritus Deacons would not
have the right to vote, but Emeritus Deacons would be eligible to serve as a
Rotating Board Deacon through the established deacon nominating process and, as
such, would be entitled to vote.

Read your governing documents to determine whether or not an an Emeritus board member, you have a vote. Usually:If you are a unit owner, you can vote to elect board members and on other matters requiring a membership vote.If you are not a unit owner, you have no vote, except possibly, when you have been appointed to the board by the developer or hired by the board as a board member.Only board members can vote on board matters.If your governing documents give ex-board members voting rights on current board matters, then you may be able to vote.

Do the pastor make all decision in the baptist church?
No, they are made by the board of Deacons or Elders along with the pastor. then the congregation is told and they usually have the right to vote on any major decision if they are members of the church.
Are deacons are the only one that supposed to be at deacons meetings?
In deacons' meetings non-deacons can be there. The visitors should be allowed to speak if it is moved, seconded and voted on by the deacons. They should not be allowed to vote on decisions if it is not address in the constitution and by laws of the church. Robert's Rules of Order came to be from the baptist church so they should be followed when making binding decisions.
Can a president override a vote by the board of directors?
No. Unless your governing documents give the president the right to override a board vote, the majority board vote of the board stands. Usually, a president votes to break a tie in a board vote, and otherwise does not vote. Read your governing documents to understand more fully how board votes work in your association.
Why a pastor can not remove a deacon in the batist church?
Baptist churches are democracies. The church elects the deacons after recommendations by the congregation or pastor. The pastor is NOT in control of the church the members are except in Baptist churches that are called "independent" and are not affiliated with a large convection like the General Baptist or Southern Baptist. This is done so the pastor can not take too much control of the church. But the church members can vote to remove a deacon. These types of things are done at business meetings in the church.
Owners and board members don't agree?
Often owners and board members don't agree. Your governing documents that bind the conduct of the board and all the members of the association (owners) indicate in some way how issues are to be handled. Note that members (owners) elect board members, and there are some issues upon which only board members -- not owners -- vote. If owners want to overturn a board vote, your governing documents may describe a percentage of owners who can vote to overrule a board vote. Sometimes this is a simple majority, sometimes a plurality is required and other times a vote must be a 'super-majority'. Owners in opposition to a board vote can educate themselves about how to bring the issue back to the board meeting agenda and vote to overrule the board's vote.
Will the Pope remain a Cardinal after retirement?
Yes, he remains a Cardinal, although he will not vote in this Conclave, as he is over the age limit. However, he will be known as Pope Emeritus.
Can a board vote on an issue if all board members are not present?
It depends on the type of board meeting and its guidelines, as defined in your governing documents. For example, if it is a special meeting called by board members and not by the president, only the items listed on the agenda can be voted on. If it is an open board meeting, then a majority of board members present may vote on an item. Perhaps board members vote and the president only votes when there is a tie, and so forth. Not all governing documents are the same, so review yours to determine how to proceed with a vote when fewer than all board members are present.
Are bylaws written by the pastor only?
I'm Baptist. In our church, deacons write the bylaws along with the pastor. If for some reason the pastor disagrees then they have a discussion over the matter. then the church as a whole can vote on it in a business meeting. In an independent baptist church the pastor can override any or all deacons if he believes it is following God's will for the church. In a southern baptist church the pastor pretty much has no say over the deacons. He can however put in a "vote" to have deacons removed if he believes they are not follwing the will of God. Bylaws do not change often because they are a huge hassle and it does not really need to be changed often because it should be really close to the Word of God.
Does Roberts Rules allow an exofficio member of a board to vote?
Roberts Rules of Order provides a structure for the conduct of board meetings.The question of whether an exofficio member of the board can vote is answered in your governing documents or state law covering the style of corporation under which your association operates its business.Commonly, an exofficio member can vote as a member according to the allocated interest owned in the association, on matters where a membership vote is called.This person's vote on matters voted on by the board -- once this person no longer serves on the board -- is the answer you seek from your governing documents or the state law.
