Bylaws

Board Member Attendance. In order to effectively execute board duties, board members shall regularly attend board and committee meetings, attending 80% or greater of the board meetings in a given year. An un-notified absence is one in which the board member did not notify the board or committee chair of his/her pending absence at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. A board member shall be deemed to be out of conformity with the requirement to regularly attend board meetings if: 

  1. the member has two un-notified absences from a board meeting within a one-year period; 
  2. the member misses three consecutive board meetings for any reason; 
  3. the member has two un-notified absences from a committee meeting within a one-year period; 
  4. the member misses three consecutive committee meetings for any reason; or 
  5. the member misses greater than 20% of the total number of board and committee meetings in a one-year period. 

 

If a board member fails to meet these standards for attendance, the board chair shall notify the board member in writing and schedule an agenda item for the next board meeting to consider dismissal of the board member. At a board meeting where there is an agenda item to consider dismissal of a board member due to attendance concerns, the board member shall be given an opportunity to address the board at that meeting and the Board may vote to remove the board member by a majority vote.
