No. " In any event, no action of the board can alter or conflict with any decision made by the assembly of the society, and any such action of the board is null and void (see p. 577, ll. 23–33).

Alexis Hunt Posted June 28, 2019 at 07:53 PM Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 at 07:53 PM I'm not sure this is necessarily true in the context of statutorily created bodies such as corporations or HOAs, and would suggest that it is perhaps time to consult an attorney with expertise in the specific statutes in question (or, alternately, time for the membership to replace the Board).
