Board member removal

Recommended Posts

Our president just told our 1st VP that she was no longer a board member. She missed 2 executive meetings (she was on vacation). Isn't the removal of an officer an issue that needs a majority vote from members? Can executive board make this decision in closed session?

It depends on what your bylaws say. Do they give this authority to your president? To your board?

If not, they can't do it.

If they can do it, they can do it in executive ("closed") session. Or not.

Does this only apply if it is an officer that is being removed from the Board of Directors, or does it refer to any member of the Board?

Ordinarily, one of the two procedures given in RONR (10th ed.), pp. 642-643, is used to depose a member from the board.
