I agree with Sam, it should be the organization's prerogative, not anyone else's, unless your by-laws say otherwise. I'd check those to see what they say about hiring.
As well, I have the same law background as Sam.

I don't see why not. Sure, you're a non-profit, but you're not a government agency or anything. You should be able to hire anyone you like without advertising the position first.
That said, I'm not a lawyer (nor do I play one on TV).

Hi All,
Thanks for the advice a ways back on hiring mechanics as contractors. I may just be paranoid worrying about things but I have another employment question.
Say a community bike shop wanted to hire a person for the summer to develop a board of directors as well as youth and free bike programming....Is this something we have to advertise publicly about or can we just make the decision as a collective and hire someone?
We know someone that is perfect for the job (experience and enthusiasm),
Thanks! Brian
