FAQ
The Chair has the same right to make or second a motion or to debate as the other Board Members. The role of presiding officer need not be assigned to another Board Member while the Chair exercises these rights.
Robert's Rules of Order provides for four general types of motions: main motions, subsidiary motions, incidental motions, and renewal motions.
Motion: To introduce a new piece of business or propose a decision or action, a motion must be made by a group member ("I move that......") A second motion must then also be made (raise your hand and say, "I second it.") After limited discussion the group then votes on the motion.
A motion is a proposal or suggestion made during a meeting or assembly, while a resolution is a formal decision or action agreed upon by a group or organization. In other words, a motion is a suggestion that is put forward for consideration while a resolution is a decision that is made after considering the motion.
A resolution is simply another form of a motion, but it's more formal and usually used for more important or ceremonial issues. Resolutions adopted by the board and later approved by the directors are considered a formal act of the corporation and not just a board action.
A resolution is basically a formal, written motion. Typically a motion contains “whereas” clauses explaining why the resolution is needed and then the “therefore be it resolved” or action that will be taken as a result of the resolution being adopted.
Robert's Rules of Order provides for four general types of motions: main motions, subsidiary motions, incidental motions, and renewal motions.

A second motion must then also be made (raise your hand and say, "I second it.") After limited discussion the group then votes on the motion.
A motion is the topic under discussion (e.g., “I move that we add a coffee break to this meeting”). After being recognized by the president of the board, any member can introduce a motion when no other motion is on the table. A motion requires a second to be considered.
To make a motion, you must first be recognized and given the floor by the meeting chairperson or presiding officer. Once you have the floor, state the motion as “I move (state your motion here).”
