Thank you for bringing that up....I guess we need to decide which one to go with......keeping both options available could cause problems...although just tailoring our bylaws to us is going to cause problems anyway. Thank you for your insight.

Running well is a relative term.......since we are a "new" board, we've got a lot to learn......but that's a topic for another day....

So basically, unless it states in our bylaws that meeting attendance is a requirement, she remains a board member unless she resigns or is voted out. This is going to be way more complicated than I thought.

I just looked at them, and they are kind of confusing. Specifically from our by laws "The directors shall be elected for a term of three years at the annual meeting of the BoD by a majority of the directors then in office and each shall continue in office until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until his or her death, resignation or removal, except that for the first two years of the Corporation's existence approximately one-third of the directors shall be elected for a one-year term and approximately one-third of the directors shall be elected for a two-year term, and thereafter approximately one-third of the directors shall be elected each year. Any director may be removed, with or without cause, by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office." I take this to mean that no one goes unless they want to, or, a majority of the board agrees and votes. I also take this to mean that every year we should be voting on new members?

We are a fledgling board, and our current bylaws are EXTREMELY generic. In fact, we don't have anything regarding this topic.

Our current treasurer has entered the political area, and has been nominated for City Counsel. Pending the election, she will be unable to attend meetings of any kind. At our last meeting, some board members brought up the idea of allowing her to maintain her treasurer status, and forgo meetings based on her new obligations. I reserved comment because I wasn't sure exactly what responsibilities a treasurer has, other than keeping the books, and providing reports. She had a very busy life style even before this nomination occurred. This nomination will make her even more busy. I am worried that her new responsibilities will cause problems. What is the proper course?
