What happens if you miss three consecutive Board meetings without just cause?

• A. A written warning
• B. Removal as determined by the Board
• C. Fine
• D. Automatic suspension

Answer: (B)

Regular attendance is essential for a regulatory board to function effectively. Missing three consecutive meetings without justification shows neglect of duties and undermines the board’s ability to govern. Because of that, the governing rules give the Board the authority to remove a member for cause. The removal is determined by the Board itself, following its bylaws and applicable statutes. Other options like a written warning, a fine, or automatic suspension don’t appropriately address a governance-duty breach by a board member, whereas removal directly resolves the issue by ensuring the board can operate with active, participating members. The process typically involves notice and the opportunity to be heard per the board’s rules, but the ultimate action is removal as determined by the Board.
