Pres1973 Posted February 21, 2019 at 03:53 PM Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 at 03:53 PM Our AGM is fast approaching and on our board in the last couple of years we have members who regularly miss meetings. I am looking to add verbiage to the constitution to deal with missing members. I.E. (after missing 3 meetings a member can be voted off the board by a 50% vote of the executive) Can some one point me to a bylaw I can reference? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it board members or general members who are missing these meetings? Do you even have a membership as such, or only a board? 19 minutes ago, Pres1973 said: I am looking to add verbiage to the constitution to deal with missing members. I.E.

Not off the top of my head, but stay tuned and keep checking back. Someone may post some sample language. It's not that unusual a provision. There is no such language in the sample bylaws in RONR. If you do add such a provision, I urge you to proceed slowly and cautiously and to have several people critically review the proposed language. Hastily adopted language too often leads to interpretation issues and unintended consequences. Don't rush into it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you mean a majority vote, and not a 50% vote, which is less than a majority. Frankly, I hope you mean a 2/3 vote which is normally the minimum for removing anyone from anywhere. Apparently you have a board and an "executive". But since executive as a noun means a person, I assume that here, the executive is a group. So the question is executive what? board? committee? washroom? What is the relationship between it and the board and the general membership?
