Our non-profit is having quorum problems similar to, but not exactly the same as, some of these. We have 12 board members and the board meets every month. However, 3 of those members NEVER attend meetings. By-laws just say 51% of board is a quorum. Should we: amend the definition of "board member" in some way that only those who can and will attend meetings will be voting members and subject to quorum count? Should we somehow change the by-laws to allow for non-voting board members and base quorum only on voting, probably coming to meeting, members? Two of these absent members do perform valuable functions with the organization, but they live out of town.
