Guest Michael Arnold Posted May 2, 2016 at 05:39 PM Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 at 05:39 PM Can a board vote to ask a member to resign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Ralph Posted May 2, 2016 at 05:44 PM Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 at 05:44 PM Yes. The member is under no obligation to comply with any such request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted May 2, 2016 at 05:44 PM Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 at 05:44 PM Yes, but the member is not obligated to do so. It might be better if a few board members, rather than the board itself, ask the member to resign. If he won't resign voluntarily and it is desired to impose some sort of punishment, you would need to resort to disciplinary procedures. RONR devotes 26 pages to it in chapter XX. If you have customized disciplinary procedures in your bylaws, those provisions trump whatever is in RONR and should be followed. It can get very technical and complicated.

Joshua Katz Posted May 2, 2016 at 08:07 PM Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 at 08:07 PM Agreeing with the above, it seems like the chair should be careful to maintain decorum when this motion is being debated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted May 2, 2016 at 09:31 PM Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 at 09:31 PM Also bear in mind that if the board is elected by the membership, it may not be possible for the board to remove board members without the approval of the membership. Check you bylaws to see what custom rules you may have or, if your bylaws are silent, See RONR Chapter XX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious how his is done in the form of a motion, much less a proper request directed through the chair? An example of either would be appreciated.
