Excluding a member

[Guest Timotheous]

There is a five person committee in which four of the members regularly exclude the fifth member from meetings, either by telling her she does not need to attend or simply by holding meetings without her knowledge. Is this even remotely acceptable?

No... well, yes, in some situations. It depends. See RONR(10th ed.), p.484, l. 10-12.

No.

Technically, if notice (for the meeting) is deficient, then all business transacted is null and void.

A committee cannot fail to pre-inform 100% of its membership of its meetings.

There is an exception for adjourned meetings (i.e., continuation meetings), but that is highly exceptional indeed.
