Guest wally Posted November 2, 2011 at 10:18 PM Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 at 10:18 PM We are contemplating removing a board member due to the member's alleged gossip and non-support of the board's decisions.Does the board member in question have the right to vote on the motion to remove him or her from the board?

XX, no, since the accused is required to leave the room after the closing arguments in the trial. (RONR, 11th ed., pg. 667, lines 3-4)If you have customized disciplinary procedures, you will have to see what your rules say on the subject.

(RONR, 11th ed., pg. 667, lines 3-4)If you have customized disciplinary procedures, you will have to see what your rules say on the subject.However, under the rules of p. 653, l. 27 - p. 654, l. 3, which may apply, the member to be removed still retains the right to vote on the question and cannot be compelled to refrain from voting, though RONR states that he should abstain. See RONR (11th ed.), p. 407, ll. 21-31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Wynn Posted November 3, 2011 at 05:09 PM Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 at 05:09 PM no. just that board members can be removed by a majority vote of the board.That seems pretty clear... and horrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Martin Posted November 9, 2011 at 12:37 AM Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 at 12:37 AM no. just that board members can be removed by a majority vote of the board.Sounds like a process to me (albeit a very brief and ill-advised process).Unless there's something else in the Bylaws on the subject, I believe the board member could vote on his removal, although he should not.
