Members propose automatic resignation rule for directors who miss three regular meetings
Summary
A member presented a bylaw change that would deem any director who misses three regular monthly meetings in a row to have resigned; proponents asked the board to prepare formal language and noted the measure would require a membership vote (0.667 approval threshold with 10% quorum).
A motion was proposed and discussed to amend the bylaws so that any director who misses three regular board meetings in a row would be deemed to have resigned. The Moderator presented the motion on behalf of a member and said the change would go into the election package and require a 0.667 approval threshold and a 10% quorum for passage once voted on by the full membership.
Supporters asked that the motion be written into clear, actionable bylaw language and captured for the November board meeting so the membership packet can include it. Members discussed whether the count should include special meetings or executive sessions and recommended limiting the rule to three regular monthly meetings to avoid unintended removals.
