Board of Hearing

Recommended Posts

Our Board of Directors acts as a Hearing Board when charges are brought up against a member.The Board has sevem members , but due to a conflict of interest , four members will need to remove themselves from the Hearing process. What is the process of selecting additional alternate members to hear the case?

This is one to dig out of your bylaws.  RONR doesn't deal with the problem.

 

But...  I suppose if can view the "Hearing Board" as an entity, vacancies could be filled by the same way the current members got on the board.  It could get a bit dicey, however, to sort out whether the "Hearing Board" could act (sort of) independently from the Board of Directors. 

 

Are the conflicts defined in your bylaws?  Is the removal mandated by the Bylaws?

I don't think there is one, unless your bylaws provide for such.

If a member "recuses" himself from a single case, I'm not sure that is the same as a vacancy.
