Anyone with Executive Board Experience know....

What does a Parliamentarian do for a board of directors?

The president of the board of directors for my home owners association wants me to become this role. I have no idea what it means, other than googling it.

My HOA just voted a new board member on, and he has been very disruptive. He has questioned the legality of our meetings and has been nuisance to everyone on the board. We are holding a board meeting tonight, and this guy wants to run for the Parli., however the board doesnt want him in this position. The pres. asked me last night if I would fill this role (to keep other guy from getting it).

This new guy has been threatening the other board members with legal action because he "feels our meetings our illegal!?!?!?" Its silly because our board has been around for 15 years, and everyone is experienced in their roles. He wants to allocate $500 for a civil engineer to do a study to dredge the neighborhood ponds, which would end up costing $100,000's, and the neighborhood is against this. All this guy is, is an old retired man, with nothing better to do than cause problems. I am not just saying that, he is crazy.

Anyone have HOA or BOD experience can chime in with what I should do? Because i have no experience in Executive boards, I have no idea if I should get involved with this role, being that this nutcase is threatening us.

You are troublesome arent you?

Not exactly sure what the Parliamentarian does, but does the board not have some sort of legal representation? Sounds like this guy could end up causing major trouble.

I think it is like an MC.

I have attend a bunch of board meetings and they never had one.

However there should be bylaws that detail the duties. As for those.
