Can anyone attend meetings of an Executive Committee or an Executive Board?
Generally speaking, the more open a non-profit organization can be, the greater trust it can engender with its members. However, as a private organization, the PTA has the right to hold their meetings with only those listed in their bylaws as members of those committees. They are not open to anyone unless the Executive Committee or Executive Board grants a “courtesy seat” to the member or to a company representative to make a presentation. When their presentation or item of interest is complete, they must leave the meeting.
