Bylaw Issue

1 Year, 4 Months ago

 
We are working on revising our bylaws for our PTO. Does anyone have any suggestions or their own bylaws that would include the removal of comittee chairs or officers? Also does anyone have any sample ones that includes closed session issues and just having officer meetings and why you would have those without other members present? Thanks for any ideas or suggestions!

Our by-laws say that the executive board meetings are attended by the officers and anyone they invite. There are some things that need to be hashed out by the officers before opening up to debate by everyone.

Our by-laws say:
The Board shall have the authority to appoint and remove all Standing Committee chairperson(s) by a majority vote.


and

Section 3 Removal of officers
An officer may be removed for breach of duties by a three-fourths vote of members present at a regularly-scheduled general meeting at which a quorum is present. The officer shall be given advance notice of the impending vote by means of written notice delivered to the officer in person or to his/her home address no less than fourteen (14) days prior to the meeting, and the officer shall be given the opportunity to speak against removal during the meeting and prior to the vote. In cases of alleged criminal misconduct, the board shall have the power to suspend the officer immediately by unanimous vote of the remaining officers; the suspension may be ended by a majority vote of the members at a regularly-scheduled or special general meeting. A vacancy resulting from removal shall be handled as specified in Article IX.
