Board meetings

[Guest colin reed]

If a board meeting is called for at a non for profit club. One of the board members does not want all board members present. Is this acceptable practice?

All the board members have the basic right of an individual member to attend the meetings of the board.

Maybe he should buy them all tickets to Hawaii.

No it is quite unacceptable. The board has such authority as the bylaws grant it only when it acts as a group, not in pieces. This one member apparently has an overdeveloped sense of his own importance.

In fact, it wouldn't be acceptable even if ALL the other board members wanted it. If you're a member, you have the basic right to attend.

And before you ask, yes, all members have the right to notice of the meeting as well.

Then, he should leave.
