Chairman not calling a committee into meeting

[DebbieinFL]

Our bylaws state that the Leadership Council shall serve various purposes but one of them is to prepare the annual calendar of events and present it annually for a vote. The chairman of the Council is the Executive Director of our organization. In the years he has served as Ex. Dir. a Council meeting has not been called and therefore it has not served any of its stated purposes nor has the calendar been presented. What recourse do members of the council or organization have to insist on the Ex. Dir. calling the Council to meet and conduct its duties?
