Answer

1.    In case of neglect of duty or violation of the Bylaws by an Officer or Director, upon petition of five (5) Full members, the Board may move by two-thirds vote of the Directors at a meeting where a quorum is present to place the Board member in question on probation for 90 days or take whatever other action it deems advisable, including immediate expulsion.  In the event that a Board member has been placed on probation, the President, or Vice President if the member in question is the President, will arrange a meeting to discuss corrective actions with the member.  At the end of the 90 day period, the Board will review the status of the Board member, and if, the member has not sufficiently cured his or her behavior, then the Board may move by a two thirds vote of the Directors at a meeting where a quorum is present, to have the member expelled from the Board.  There must be two (2) weeks' written notice to the Directors in advance of the special meeting and the notice must contain the date, time and location of the meeting and the topic to be discussed.
