The topic's title seems to suggest that a board member invited a guest under false pretenses, but your post suggests that the board invited a board member to speak, which makes no sense, as board members don't need an invitation to speak at a board meeting - they have a right to speak. Please clarify.

Can the Board member be disciplined?  Yes.  Must the Board member be disciplined?  No.  Should the Board member be disciplined?  That is for you all to decide for yourselves.

For information on how to discipline the board member, see FAQ #20.

 

Whether the board member should be disciplined is at the society's discretion.
