2.CASE STUDY Wentworth Lawyers FROM BOARD MEMBER TO CEO: THE PROTOCOLS ?

CASE STUDY OPTIONS In the Registered Clubs sector in NSW, the alternatives would appear to be:-  The Director to declare a material personal interest, be excluded from discussion and voting, but only resign if he is successful in being offered the job.  The Director to declare a material personal interest, and request a leave of absence from all Board duties for the period of the recruitment process, say 4 to 6 weeks.  The Director to declare a material personal interest and resign from the Board, perhaps hoping if he is not successful, he will be appointed to the casual vacancy (which may create some interesting dynamics of its own).  The Director to declare a material personal interest, and hope his fellow Directors resolve to allow his participation in the process as a Director, but resign if offered the job.
