decisons by the president without informing all members of the board

[Guest LynnCVTqD]

Does the president have the authority to make decisions without infoming or getting a vote on changes he wants to make?

Do not all board members have to be in a meeting?

The president has only those powered granted to him in the bylaws. So check the bylaws to see what those powers (& duties and responsibilities, &c.) are.

Probably not all, but at least enough for a quorum, and perhaps a few extras depending on any above-average voting requirements.

if ther are only 4 directors because one resigned and they have a vote 2 for and one against and then the president votes against making it a tie what would be the decision or would it be null and void

Except in elections, a tie vote defeats the motion, assuming a majority vote is required. There's no null and void about a tie vote, nor does it need to be "broken." It is as valid a vote as when all are in favor or opposed, or even 2 for and one against.

...and even if a two-thirds vote is required, for that matter.

But even in elections a tie vote sorta defeats the "motion" that somebody's elected, at least for that round of balloting.
