We are in the process of creating and adopting bylaws for a new Science Center in South Bend, IN and would like feedback on whether to have the Executive Director as a voting member, and possibly executive Board member. Some Boards have the E.D. as Board Chair. Most have the E.D. explicitly not a Board member. I can see benefits to both. Having served on many Boards over the years this dynamic can be very important and needs to be addressed up front. Clear chains of command need to be defined but what is the best shape of the chain?
