Thank you, yes. the bylaws are defiantly silent on this and a couple other committees. Thank you again. Cheryl

So I have a question. Some of the job descriptions will state some like you need to have a committee that consists of: Example below 6 people 1. The chair person, a vice chair, a member at large and 3 members in good standing that are advisers (from a parent organisation). However, this is not listed in the bylaws at all that we need to have these 3 members. So our questions is do the bylaws over rule the job description on this or no? Thank you in advance

No it doesn't include any penalties for violations to members. So I will check out chapter xx,, thank you. No, I’m pretty sure if I put it on here everyone would think it was nasty, disrespectful & unacceptable to say the least. These weren’t airing of concerns they were personal attracts about thing like someone weight and things like that Thank you for the information. CB2

So very true!

What is the proper way to handle a membership issue? I know that they can have their membership taken it away. A little backstory is they wrote a very nasty unacceptable letter to the board members and it does not follow our code of ethics. Every member is held to follow our code of ethics. How do we handle the situation? Our bylaws do not state specifically how to handle something like this? CB2

Thank you for all the information. They resigned from the board so the situation took care of its self. CB2

So we have a member that is going to receive a disciplinary letter which will be finalized at a meeting, down the road. Removal of said person from the board. However, we don't think they will come to that meeting. How is that handled if they don't show? We know they have a right to vote for themselves to stay of the board. When they are disciplined they also aren't allowed to do anything board related until the appeal is finalized. What are the proper steps for this? Also, the board member lives in another state than the meeting place. All flights are usually paid for by the Association, are we still supposed to pay for a flight for this person? CB2

Thank you, That's what I thought!

So we have 11 board members and then one executive director who is to attend every meeting of the board. They are saying The executive director (She’s not on the board so she doesn’t have a vote) not count in establishing a quorum, is that factual because our bylaws only state how to establish a quorum does not say a nonvoting person doesn’t count?

How is it decided who interprets the bylaws? For instance we have an issue where someone says we can do email vote when are mail ballot bylaw only states online discussion with hard ballot vote if called by President. So she is interpreting that we can do email vote. Several of the rest of us are stating it doesn’t specifically state email vote and it would have to do that to be able to vote via email. So what happens when you have a dispute over the bylaws how do you get clarification and from whom. I can state the exact by law if you want to see it. Thank you in advance

okay thank you for the clarification!

Also, a question we have 11 board members so 2/3 vote is 7.333, so will 7 pass the vote or do we have to have 8 votes? obviously we cant cut a person in half.

Okay wait a second. Are we talking about boars members and members? I'm only talking about Board Members. We need 2/3 of the Board members correct. We don't need a vote from our members correct? Now I'm confused.

So if they chose to not take part or call Into the teleconference, it doesn't matter as we still need 2/3. as long as they are aware that we are having one and it mandatory and the details to call in. We can still have our meeting and vote. CB2
