Nelson is right, you have to know what the by-laws say. However, a
vote of no confidence is not a term that applies to clubs. If the
members want to remove the chairman from office, they must have
grounds based on the by-laws. Most probably, these would be those for
suspending a member, obviously for misappropriation and taking
personal advantage, or the like, often for actions to the detriment of
the club. Some clubs have an obudsman or small committee of senior
members that can be addressed with problems.
If there are thought to be grounds to remove the person, what would be
normal is that the bylaws define how many members are required to sign
a request for an extra-ordinary meeting of the membership that gives
the reason, similarly for having a members' motion added to the agenda
for a regular meeting.
Even if the members do not pass the motions to approve the chairman's
or the board's management and the financial report at the annual
meeting, this would not remove him or them from office - at least,
not in the club by-law I am familar with.
I hope this helps. |
