Consequences of an executive officiating an invalid meeting

[Lina W]

What could be the consequences on the executive member if - say the Vice President - were to chair an extra ordinary general meeting that is invalid because it has not been approved at an executive meeting nor requested by members? The purpose of that meeting is to remove another executive member and a majority of the executive refuse to attend.

If a meeting was improperly called then everything that was done is null and void and it doesn't matter who presided over it (RONR p. 251).

I'm not entirely clear why there should be any consequences for the VP based solely on the facts provided, but in any event, the authority for discipline is reserved for the general membership (unless the Bylaws provide otherwise) and the penalties which may be imposed include temporary suspension of some or all of the authority of the office, removal from office, temporary suspension of some or all of the rights of membership, or expulsion from membership. If the society is actually contemplating disciplinary action, see RONR, 11th ed., Ch. XX for more information on the procedures involved.

Well, yes, but the poster's question seems to be about what the consequences are for the presiding officer.

Thank you, I will read the sections in RORN.
