Guest Guest Posted February 25, 2012 at 08:11 PM Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 at 08:11 PM I was also just informed and thought I would add that the executive board has deemed that removal from the board is not considered disciplinary action and thus would not need to be handled by our disciplinary review board. It is based on that logic that the executive board as given the president sole power to make this decision.Can someone explain how expulsion from a board of directors would not be viewed as a disciplinary action?Is there anything in Roberts Rules to address this play on words?Thank you again!!

Chris Harrison Posted February 25, 2012 at 08:46 PM Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 at 08:46 PM Can someone explain how expulsion from a board of directors would not be viewed as a disciplinary action?I suppose that if someone looks at the situation in the right (or wrong) way that they can see whatever they want to see. I somehow suspect you will be incredibly hard pressed to find anyone who is a regular poster on this forum who could argue with a straight face that removal from the Board is not a disciplinary action. But that is probably a secondary consideration since unless the bylaws give the Board the authority to make such an outlandish and absurd declaration they don't have that authority (RONR p. 482 ll. 25-29).

Guest Edgar Posted February 25, 2012 at 08:56 PM Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 at 08:56 PM I was also just informed and thought I would add . . .For future reference, if you're adding to an existing post, then add to the existing post (i.e. don't start a new one and expect anyone to be able to tie it to what the other posts said).Secondly, posting as "Guest_Guest" makes it difficult to know if you're the same person who posted before. Please use a consistent username (or, better yet, become a member . . . no salesman will call).m52Q28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you must ask where the board got this authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
