Guest Lanie Posted April 23, 2024 at 06:18 PM Report Share Posted April 23, 2024 at 06:18 PM Can I, as a board member, be asked to leave a board meeting during closed session so they can discuss and event that happened with my child and the financial implications of said event? Retaliatory action on their behalf is forbidden per lawyers. It seems wrong to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Katz Posted April 23, 2024 at 06:32 PM Report Share Posted April 23, 2024 at 06:32 PM Anyone can be asked anything. The question is whether you can be forced to leave. The answer is no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted April 23, 2024 at 08:58 PM Report Share Posted April 23, 2024 at 08:58 PM Mr. Katz is correct. Unless your bylaws provide to the contrary, the right to attend meetings (and to be heard at them!) is a basic right of membership of every member. See section 1:4 of RONR (12th ed.). You cannot be excluded from attending and participating in a meeting except for certain disciplinary proceedings. If you are the subject of a disciplinary proceeding, it would be possible to exclude you from certain proceedings. That is a rather complicated matter and is covered in the 26 pages of Chapter XX of RONR (12th ed.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
