We have a past president position on our board for a term of one year. This position is a voting member of our board of directors. Our bylaws clearly state that if any director misses three consecutive meetings without a request for an excused absence they will be immediately removed from the board. Our past president missed 4 consecutive meetings and went the entire time without any form of communication, leaving our board no choice but to dismiss them from the board. Now, they are requesting to be reseated as past president and claiming that we were against parliamentary procedure in removing them from the board. What is the correct course of action here? In addition, that one year term is up in April. If we were to reinstate them would we go back to when they were removed from position or to when they are reinstated?
