I know I wasn't at the meeting but we actually already have an attendance policy in place.

Are you guys looking to clarify/tweak it or replace it?

Russ, I saw that after I posted, meant to edit it! Again, it has been a busy and wild month of May ;)

Kevin, we weren't going to change the attendance policy, but based on it....if a BoD doesn't follow the policy, then that would be grounds for removal. Therefore, we created a process for the removal of. We plan to discuss it more next week.

Ok... when we set it up it was meant to just be automatic. You missed the meetings you are off the board, plain and simple. I really don't see any reason for someone to miss that many meetings in a row. If so then you probably don't have the time to give to the SN and you should step out of the way and let someone that does come in and take over.

Well, if that were the case, then I should have been removed. I had extenuating circumstances that I had to circumvent in order to come back to the meetings.

Also, the situation with the tornado in Northern Alabama could have been a lot worse for a couple BoD members preventing them from attending.

The voting process keeps it from being just a cut and dry removal if the meetings are missed.

Plus, we added in removal due to conduct, ie. a BoD member being disqualified from tournaments and such.

Can I help out here...?

Set your rule for how many board meetings a board member can miss. If that happens, they are automatically off the board...no voting options there. However...that member would be off the board with the option of the rest of the board members to vote that person back on.

That way...when you have people in a situation like Justin earlier this year, he would be off the board after those absences, but in that same meeting where he is off the board, the board members are able to vote him back on. This way you can keep the ones that are dedicated, but have outside circumstances that may make them miss (said) amount of meetings.

This also gives you the option to not vote someone back on if that person is missing meetings and is not dedicated to serving the SN BoD.

If you follow robert's rule of order, this would be the procedure.

Thanks for the input. We can look at that.

Ours is similar. The amount of meetings is already set. If you miss 3 consecutive meetings, you're out. But, instead of voting if we allow them to come back on, we're voting to remove them.

What about being "banned" from tournaments. ;)
