Disciplinary actions

What can an organization do when disciplinary action is needed?

Our bylaws state the word "censure" but what does that even mean?

And is there anything more drastic we can do?

What can you do?

About what? About whom? Toward what end?

Read Chapter XX Section 61 in Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR 10th ed. 2000) for a description of the DISCIPLINARY process.

What can an organization do when disciplinary action is needed?

See RONR, 10th ed., Ch. XX. Read it thoroughly before initiating disciplinary action.

Our bylaws state the word "censure" but what does that even mean?

Censure is a formal reprimand issued by the body.

And is there anything more drastic we can do?

The assembly could suspend the member of some (or all) of the rights of membership for a period of time or expel the member from the organization. If this is about an officer, the individual could be removed from office. Fines may only be issued if they are authorized in the Bylaws. (RONR, 10th ed., pg. 624, line 20 - pg. 625, line 3; pg. 642, lines 29-32)
