What can happen if a board member misses specified meetings as outlined in bylaws?

The reason that a board member can be removed by a majority vote of other directors if they miss specified meetings outlined in the bylaws is rooted in governance and accountability principles established in community associations. Bylaws typically outline the expectations and responsibilities of board members, including attendance requirements.

When a member of the board fails to attend these meetings, it can hinder the board's ability to make decisions effectively, disrupt the flow of essential governance processes, and impair the overall function of the association. As a result, most bylaws include provisions that allow for removal of board members who do not fulfill their obligations, including attendance. This serves both to maintain the integrity of the board's operations and to ensure that each member is committed to the responsibilities they agreed to when they were elected.

This mechanism ensures accountability and encourages active participation, aligning the actions of the board members with the community's best interests. Understanding this aspect of governance allows board members to recognize the importance of their attendance and participation in the management of the community.
