Chris Harrison Posted May 28, 2010 at 01:49 PM Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 at 01:49 PM No just a member.Then you as someone who is not a Board member don't have any rights at the Board meeting. What you can do is approach a friendly Board member and tell him what your concern is and ask him to raise a Point of Order. The Point of Order doesn't need to be timely assuming the rule is NOT in the nature of a rule of order (see RONR pp. 15-17, p. 244a). Another option if things don't change is to try to discipline the Board members. See FAQ #20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted May 28, 2010 at 01:50 PM Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 at 01:50 PM No just a member.As an individual member of the organization, you cannot take formal action on the misdeeds of the board. However, the membership, as a whole, almost certainly does have such power.For the general membership countermanding board action, see:http://www.robertsrules.com/interp_list.html#2006_13For getting rid of board members, see:http://www.robertsrules.com/faq.html#20Also, depending on what kind of bylaw was broken, the particular action taken by the board may be null and void.

hmtcastle Posted May 29, 2010 at 03:13 PM Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 at 03:13 PM Could you expand on particular actions making a motion null and voidIt would be better if you described the allegedly improper action your board actually took.
