Guest Thomas Posted March 19, 2015 at 11:32 PM Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 at 11:32 PM If by-laws state that a unanimous vote is required to remove a board member, but the member has a single supporter, is there anyway around this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted March 19, 2015 at 11:34 PM Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 at 11:34 PM Short of amending the bylaws, no. Edited to add: I suppose you could wait until the single supporter is absent. Do you think a unanimous vote means that all the members are in agreement or just that all the members who vote are in agreement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thomas Posted March 20, 2015 at 04:32 AM Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 at 04:32 AM What if the member is a president who is undermining committees, lying, manipulating, and defaming other board members? Refusing to respond to board matters, motions, votes, etc? Nothing? Because of the by-law that requires a unanimous vote for removal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thomas Posted March 20, 2015 at 05:09 AM Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 at 05:09 AM Does that (s) allow for two people to be voted off at once? And prevent them from being able to vote?SECTION FROM BY-LAWSREMOVAL OF DIRECTORS: At a meeting of the directors, any director may be removed, for or without cause by unanimous vote of the directors less the vote of the directors(s) proposed for removal: provided that the director proposed for removal has been given notice of the proposed removal. Such notice shall be delivered not less than 7 days before the date of the director’s meeting, at which the removal vote is taken, either personally or by mail to the director proposed for removal. If mailed it shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the US mail addressed to the director at his or her address as it appears on the records of the corporation with postage prepaid.

Possibly. 2. No. They can vote as long as they're members and they're members until they're removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Coronite Posted March 20, 2015 at 12:18 PM Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 at 12:18 PM I believe Thomas meant preventing them from voting on their own removal, per the "by unanimous vote of the directors less the vote of the directors(s) proposed for removal:" clause he cited. Would that possibly change your answer to #2, without asking you to interpret that bylaws snippet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that possibly change your answer to #2, without asking you to interpret that bylaws snippet? Yes, thanks. I missed that important clause. I wonder what happens if one member proposes that all the other members be removed. And the word "director(s)" changes my answer to #1 from "possibly" to "yes".
