Guest sam wilson Posted October 15, 2011 at 05:22 PM Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 at 05:22 PM During a meeting a important topic came up, charges against a board member. a discussion started questions, answers bla bla bla. a decision was made by the pres to ask the member to resign and he did, no vote. next meeting the pres said, what we did was wrong we did not give him (president) a 7 day notice for the agenda and it was illegal, a friend, lawyer on the board said ( we might be liable to a lawsuit) the person who resigned is a friend of the pres and know we have to have a trial!Under the heading in are bylaws annual regular and special meeting it states, a notice and agenda for all meetings shall be sent to each board member at least seven days in advanced of the meeting. does this have any bearing on the his verdict?I can not seem to get members to understand that the bylaws can not be suspended at the will of the president. one meeting he uses them and the next he says we don't need them, and no such article or amendment is in place in are bylaws for him to do this, they don't seem to get that the bylaws are what we use to run are non-profit I have tried reading Roberts rules to them in private but they think the president knows more than I do, these people I have read to are not his friends. any help or advice with ways I can back up Roberts rule or the bylaws so that they will believe, Please I have only 25 days to a mean king Kong minion will be back on the board!

Tim Wynn Posted October 15, 2011 at 10:09 PM Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 at 10:09 PM Since what you described is a voluntary resignation, I don't see what the concern is. As for questions about lawsuits, consult an attorney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
