How to remove an ineffective or insubordinate board member from office

[Guest Shirley]

If bylaws of an organization do not provide for it, how do you remove an ineffective board member from office?

[Chris Harrison]

If you can wait until the next time that this Board member is up for (re)election then elect someone else. If you can't wait and the bylaws indeed have no provision for discipline then depending on how the bylaws define the Board members' term of office you might be able to remove him from office by adopting a motion to do so (requires previous notice and a majority vote, a 2/3 vote if notice wasn't given, or a majority of the ENTIRE Membership) or you may have to hold a full fledged trial. See RONR pp. 653-668.
