Rules of Order Policy Board Approved September 2017

Rules of Order for Board Meetings Quorum: Our bylaws state that a quorum is present if the majority of the board is present.

Order of the day: Each meeting will have an agenda which will include points to discuss, old business and new business. The leader of the meeting is referred to as the “Chair.” This may be the chairman of the board, the president, or the highest-ranking officer present at the meeting. Items to discuss: All board members may submit items to discuss. These items must be submitted at least 2 weeks prior to the scheduled meeting. Items must be submitted electronically as editable Microsoft word documents. Items must include: the person (or persons, committee, etc.) introducing the item and the date of submission. Items should be marked as informational items (board updates), discussion items (not asking for action), or action items. For action items, the specific action being requested by the board should be clearly indicated. Late items: From time to time, items of critical importance may need to be introduced within 2 weeks of the board meeting. These items will be marked in the board book as “Late” and will only be discussed after a majority vote of the board to discuss the item. Motions: Introducing a main motion 1) The chair may call on the person responsible for the next order of business. Or, when no one else has the floor, a board member may address the chair by proper title. After recognition by the chair, the board member may make a motion. 2) To make a motion, state, “I move that…,” and state your motion. For example, “I move that we discuss item #4 regarding updating our travel policy…” Regarding the above items of business, the person who introduced the item of business and who’s name appears on the item of business should introduce the motion. 3) Another member may second your motion. A second simply means that the motion should be discussed. If the motion is not seconded, it is not up for discussion. It is not lost, as there has been no vote. 4) Only if there is a second, the chair states “It has been moved and seconded that…” (state the motion). “Is there any discussion?” 5) Only one main motion may be on the floor at a time. Discussing a motion 1) All speaking points should be limited to 3 minutes. This will be enforced with a timer, and an OMA staff person will be designated to monitor the timer. A different time limit (or no time limit) may also be used if requested by a majority of the quorum, either for a single item of business, or for the entire meeting. 2) The member who made the motion is entitled to speak to it first. 3) Every member may speak to the motion. Only the motion at hand should be spoken either for or against. Each member should clearly state whether they are speaking for or against the motion. 4) A person may not speak against their own motion (however, they can vote against their own motion). 5) All discussion should be directed towards the motion. Avoid using a person’s name during the debate. 6) All questions should be directed to the chair. 7) Each member may only speak to the motion twice; however, asking a question or a brief suggestion does not count as that person’s debate.

Rules of Order Policy Board Approved September 2017

8) A person may only speak a third time with the chair’s permission. 9) Only the person who introduced the motion may speak again at the end (even if this is a third time). Voting on a motion 1) Before a vote is taken, the Chair puts the question to a vote by saying “Those in favor of the motion that… (repeat the motion) … say ‘Aye.’ Those opposed say ‘No.’” 2) Wait, then say “The motion is carried,” or “The motion is lost.” 3) If a member is in doubt about the result, he or she may call for “division.” A division is a demand for a standing vote count. This may be show of hands or ballot. 4) A majority is MORE than ½ of the votes cast by persons entitled to vote (a tie does NOT carry because it is not a majority). 5) A confidential written vote may be requested by any member of the board during in-person meetings. This would not require a second. Subsidiary Motions 1. Amending a motion a. Any main motion or resolution may be amended by: adding at the end, striking out or inserting words, substitution. b. To amend a motion, during discussion, a member may say “I move to amend the motion by…” Another member must second this amendment. c. The chair asks “Is there any discussion on the amendment? [repeat amendment].” At this point, only the amendment is discussed. d. When discussion ceases, the Chair says “Those in favor of the amendment [repeat amendment] say ‘Aye.’ Those opposed say ‘Nay.’ e. At this point, the motion carries or not. The main motion (amended or not) can now be voted on, discussion can continue, or the motion may be amended again (by another motion). f. Note, even if an amendment is passed, the main motion has still not been voted on – a separate vote is required. 2. Postpone definitely / indefinitely a. When the assembly does not want to take a position on the main question at all (indefinitely) b. When the assembly wants to delay to a certain time (definitely) 3. Motion to substitute a. When the assembly wishes to substitute a new motion for the original motion. 4. Refer a. Sends a pending motion to a committee, etc. 5. Limit debate / Extend debate 6. Lay the motion on the table (tabling the motion) a. This is used to lay the pending question aside and move on with other business. This may be appropriate when there is a more urgent question at hand, scheduling issue (people invited to speak to the board), etc. Privileged Motions 1. Call for order of the day – a member can interrupt a speaker to call for sticking with the agenda. 2. Recess – used to request an intermission (does not end the meeting)

Rules of Order Policy Board Approved September 2017

3. Adjourn – used to end the meeting. 4. Fix the time to Which to Adjourn – sets the time at which the meeting will adjourn; any unfinished business is moved to the next meeting. Incidental Motions 1. Point of order – used when member feels rules are being violated. Member may interrupt a speaker to raise a point of order. 2. Appeal – used to challenge the chair’s ruling. 3. Suspend the rules – example – suspend the time limit, allow other discussions, etc. 4. Withdraw – permits the maker of the motion to withdraw it. 5. Point of information – requests to the chair to provide information relevant to business at hand. A point of information must be in the form of a question. 6. Objection to consideration of a question – suppresses business that is irrelevant or inappropriate and undesirable to be discussed. Other Main Motions 1. Take from the table – resumes consideration of a motion laid on the table earlier. 2. Reconsider – reopens a motion to debate that has already been voted upon in the same session. 3. Rescind or amend – something previously adopted Other Rules of Conduct: 1. Be prepared – Carefully review the complete board manual before the board meeting. 2. Communicate prior to the meeting – Many items can be resolved before the meeting, saving valuable time. Or, big ticket items can be identified and proper time allocated. 3. Freedom of movement – Board members are welcome to stand, sit, or use the facilities as needed. 4. Freedom of opinion – Board members are free to express their opinions, without fear of stigmatization or personal attack by other board members. 5. Respect – Board members are expected to treat each other respectfully. 6. Attention – Board members are expected to pay attention. This requires turning off cell phones and other distracting electronic devices. Board members are expected not to be texting, emailing or making personal calls (barring emergency or urgent situations) during meetings. 7. Conflict of interest – If a real or perceived conflict exists, a board member must disclose this. Depending on the conflict, if the other board members feel the conflict is not germane to the item being discussed, the member may be allowed to discuss and vote. Other options – member may be allowed to discuss but not vote. Member may be not allowed to discuss or vote. Or, member may be asked to leave the board room for the discussion. The board should determine the level of conflict and appropriate level of involvement by the conflicted member on the issue at hand.

Conflict of Interest Policy and Disclosure Statement

OMA Conflict of Interest Policy The Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) Board of Trustees must act at all times in the best interest of OMA. The purpose of this policy is to help inform the OMA, its members and leaders about what constitutes a conflict of interest, provide assistance in identification and disclosure of actual and potential conflicts, and help ensure the avoidance and resolution of conflicts of interest when necessary. This policy may be enforced as described below: 1. Board members have a fiduciary duty to conduct themselves without conflict to the interests of OMA. In these capacities, they must subordinate personal, individual business, third-party and other interests to the welfare and best interests of OMA. 2. A conflict of interest is a transaction or relationship which presents or may present a conflict between an individual’s obligations to OMA and the individual’s personal, business or other interests. a. Generally, a conflict of interest could be said to exist when individuals have material interests outside OMA which could influence them, or could be perceived as influencing them to act contrary to the best interests of OMA and for their own personal benefit or the benefit of a relative or business associate. If such conflict is identified, the individual is asked to extract themselves from voting on a motion. b. Frequently the type of interest resulting in a conflict would be financial, such as an individual who has an association with a third party through ownership interest, stock/bond holdings, a grant, an employment relationship, or a consultative or advisory arrangement. Examples include serving on a speakers’ bureau or advisory board, as well as receiving honoraria from a medical education company for CME presentations. NOTE: An individual’s employment by a pharmaceutical company involved in obesity, medical device company involved in obesity, supplement or food company involved in weight loss products, or other companies that could have the appearance of having a conflict of interest with OMA as determined from time to time by the OMA Board of Trustees are deemed to be direct conflicts of interest that would preclude the individual from serving as a member of the OMA Board of Trustees. c. In some instances a conflict of interest may exist even though the conflict does not arise out of financial considerations. For example, a member of the OMA Board of Trustees also may have a fiduciary responsibility as a member of the Board of Trustees or committee of another organization. If the interests of that organization were contrary to or in competition with the interests of OMA, a situation could exist in which the individual could not fulfill his or her fiduciary responsibilities to both organizations or may be disqualified as a board of trustee candidate during the nomination process. 3. All conflicts of interest are not necessarily prohibited or harmful to the OMA. However, full disclosure of all actual and potential conflicts, and a determination by the Board – with the interested individual recused from participating in debates and voting on the matter – are required. NOTE: some conflicts may lead to a disqualification during candidacy as determined by the OMA Nominating Committee. 4. All actual and potential conflicts of interest shall be disclosed by Board members through the annual disclosure statement and/or whenever a conflict arises. The disinterested members of the Board shall make a determination as to whether a conflict exists and what subsequent action is appropriate (i.e. require the person with the conflict to abstain from discussing or voting on matters involving the conflict, resign from office, etc.). 5. On an annual basis, all Board members shall be provided with a copy of this policy and are required to complete and sign the disclosure statement below. OMA will provide all members of the Board with copies of the disclosure statements for all members of the Board and will publicly list potential conflicts as part of the candidacy announcement. Note: A separate policy exists for all OMA Continuing Medical Education activities. Individuals participating in these activities are subject to the “OMA Policy for Commercial Support and Continuing Education Programs” and should complete the full disclosure statement developed solely for these activities.

Disclosure Statement I have read the OMA conflict of interest policy set forth above and agree to comply fully with its terms and conditions at all times during my service to OMA. If at any time following submission of this form I become aware of any actual or potential conflicts of interest, or if the information provided below becomes inaccurate or incomplete, I will promptly notify the OMA Executive Director in writing. I understand that if I indicate a financial or other relationship or interest below, that information will be reviewed to determine whether this relationship precludes my participation on the Board. I understand that failure or refusal to disclose, false disclosure, or inability to resolve conflicts of interest will disqualify me from participating on the Board immediately. I agree that as an OMA Board of Trustee member I will make every effort that all my Association related activities and votes will be solely in the best interest of the OMA.

Disclosure of Actual or Potential Conflicts of Interest occurring within 1 year of the date of this form and within the foreseeable future:

Disclosure of ANY interests that could possibly result in a Conflict of Interest in the future with OMA, such as an ownership interest in any business, stock/bond holdings, a grant, an employment relationship, or consultative or advisory arrangement, etc.:

Disclosure of involvement / relationships with other similar or competitive associations / societies which represent interests of obesity medicine clinicians (please specify your level of involvement, i.e. board member, committee leader, committee member, general member, etc.):
