Edgar Guest Posted October 3, 2014 at 10:02 PM Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 at 10:02 PM Probably not. But see FAQ #20. And there's no such thing as an unscheduled meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted October 7, 2014 at 04:54 PM Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 at 04:54 PM Can a president who is part of the executive board be removed by the remainder of the executive board without being notified that a unscheduled meeting,vote or discussion is taking place?All meetings, whether regular or special, have to be scheduled, it's just that special meetings are scheduled as needed, presumably between those on the regular schedule. And special meetings must follow the rules in the bylaws regarding who may call (schedule) them, how much notice is required, etc. And only the business noted in the call is in order during the meeting. But a meeting is not valid, and all business conducted is null and void, if fewer than 100% of the members were notified of the meeting. So the answer is no.

So the answer is no. Suppose the bylaws require that a one week notice be given for special meetings. One member happens to be on a cruise and isn't checking his mail or e-mail for two weeks. Are you going to claim that the business is null and void because he can't be notified in time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally what's required is that the notice be sent on time, not necessarily received in time (something over which, of course, the sender has no control).

Presuming e-mail was an acceptable method of providing notice, then no, I would not claim that. Proper notice was given, Besides, even on ships with no internet service, they do put into port sometime. The member who chose not to check his e-mail has no grounds to complain. But if, as in the OP's scenario, notice was withheld from one member because the others wanted to talk about him behind his back, that's not a valid meeting.
