Guest PTO Mom Posted March 8, 2018 at 04:57 AM Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 at 04:57 AM I am new to the PTO board. We have a set of bylaws where the following scenario is not mentioned, so I was wondering if someone can help me in identifying where in Robert’s Rules this is addressed. A board member has distributed material that was not previously board approved. There were 2 letters written as well as a fundraising opportunity that 1- Was already underway using different items for sale and 2- this individual was not a member of the committee that was in charge of the decision making for this fundraiser. What is the best course of action? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted March 8, 2018 at 11:08 AM Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 at 11:08 AM Chastise the Board member, by a formal motion next board meeting. See Chapter 20. You might start with a motion to censure - it is the minimum version of chastising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And which may be done without going into the disciplinary process (p. 643, fn.; see also, pp. 344, l. 1-5). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Curious Kitten Posted March 18, 2018 at 04:18 AM Report Share Posted March 18, 2018 at 04:18 AM Thank you! How about distribution of defamation? For example, a list of complaints targeted at a specific individual, written by either a sole member of the board or by a portion of the board? Some legit complaints, some personal. Is there an action to take against the offender/offenders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an action to take against the offender/offenders? See RONR, 11th ed., Section 63 if you wish to take more severe action than a motion to censure. Ultimately, actions up to and including expulsion from the society are in order, but there is a lengthy disciplinary process. You should also check to see whether your bylaws have their own rules on discipline.
