Guest Leslie H Posted June 15, 2010 at 12:51 PM Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 at 12:51 PM Here is a portion of our bylaws:Any Director who fails to cast any two (2) board ballots in a calendar year when called upon, shall be considered automatically resigned from office and as a member of the board, unless in the opinion of a majority of the Board of Directors, there are extenuating circumstances. Such exception, however, shall be permitted only once during any given calendar year.One Board member who has missed four ballots (we have board mailings so they were "called upon") claims they sent in their mailing but it was not received by our Secretary. She is now claiming we have to "remove" her and that she is not resigned. She is also claiming someone is purposely hacking into the Secretaries email to remove her message. Can we consider these "complaints" extenuating circumstances and vote on her or is she is just considered resigned? She has a friend who is sending her all the Board information and I guess that Board member is going to turn in her "votes". Basically, she won't leave the Board.Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Cisar Posted June 15, 2010 at 01:59 PM Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 at 01:59 PM Do your bylaws state that email voting is allowed? If not, all balloting must be at a meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The organization is responsible for interpreting and applying its own unique rules.So, as the character Trixie Zerbo (actress Emily Watson) once said in the eponymous film of 2000, "The ball is in your camp."
