Board member interference with another board member being elected.

[Guest Billy]

I have a question. We have an issue with an active member of a board who has actively gotten involved in another board member reappointment which caused him to lose that spot. Is there anything in Robert rules or order that prohibits that kind of actions. The member went to the council who elects the members of the board and told the council they should vote for his guy instead of the current member of the board who was up for reelection.

Nothing in RONR addresses this matter.

Your post is a bit confusing maybe use boardmember A , B members E and F and so on.

Depending on what happened a motion to sensure (disapproval) might be the least to consider.

It doesn't seem confusing to me.

I suppose there could be some scenarios where censure could be appropriate. But unless there is more to it than Guest Billy has told us,. this descent seem to me to be one of them. There is nothing wrong in advocating for your favored candidate. And how do we (or Guest Billy) know that the council would not have voted for that candidate anyway, without Guest Billy's advocacy?
