Guest Riverbend POA VP Posted June 12, 2012 at 08:48 PM Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 at 08:48 PM We have a board member that we appointed to complete someone else's term and is a pain in our rear. Within minutes of leaving an excutive session he tells his buddies everything we discussed. And he has repeatedly told us that he is only a board member once a month. He refuses to help with problems arising in day to day operations. Can we unappoint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Goodwiller, PRP Posted June 12, 2012 at 09:21 PM Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 at 09:21 PM RONR provides that officers of an organization (which is what I would interpret your "appointed" board member to be) can be removed from office in a couple of ways. If the bylaws provde that the term is "for ___ years or until their successor is elected," then they can be replaced by a motion to elect a successor (it requres a 2/3 vote, or previous notice and a majority vote of the appointing/electing body).However, if the bylaws simply say that they are elected for __ years, or if they say "for ___ years and until the election of their successor," then they can only be removed by a disciplinary process (the steps for which are defined beginning on pg. 654 in RONR).I would also note, though, that in the section on executive session, RONR specifically states that "a member of a society can be punished under disciplinary procedure if he violates the secrecy of an executive session (RONR pg. 96, ll. 6-7). You you appear to have "cause" to proceed in that direction if you so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
