§ 77231 Ex Officio Member Definition

• •An 'ex officio member' is part of the group but can't vote.
• •They are there to help or give advice, not to make decisions.
• •This rule was added in 1988.

Imagine a school club where the teacher is part of the club but doesn't vote on club decisions.

The teacher is like an 'ex officio member'—they can guide the club but can't vote on what the club does.
