Executive meeting

Is it necessary to reveal all the details of an executive meeting to the remainder of the Board if the Constitution makes reference only to providing minutes to the Secretary for filing? We have a Board member that seems to be bent on destroying the structure of the Board with demands and undercutting comments.

I'll assume you're referring to a meeting of the executive committee (typically a subset of the board) and not (necessarily) a meeting held in executive session. RONR notes (on p.470 of the 10th edition that some of us are trying to squeeze a little more life out of) that the executive committee should make a report of its activities at each regular meeting of the board. Your rules may vary.

If the minutes are available, I wonder what other details are being requested.

Do you, in fact mean a meeting of the Executive Committee (and is it correct to assume the problematic board member is not a member of the Executive Committee)?

And, when you say "all the details", is it correct to assume you are asking about details above and beyond what is contained in the minutes? Or are you simply asking about the troublesome member's right to look at the minutes?

Not at the request of a single board member, no. The member has a right to view the minutes of assemblies which he is a member of, but he has no right to any further details of the meetings under RONR.
