What can result in the removal of a board member from their position due to attendance issues?

Removal of a board member from their position due to attendance issues is typically attributed to clear and documented expectations regarding attendance. Failing to attend three consecutive meetings directly violates these expectations. Most boards have specific attendance policies that outline the consequences of missing meetings, which may include removal from the board. This strict adherence helps ensure effective governance and accountability among members.

Other options, while potentially serious issues, do not carry the same level of direct consequence related to attendance as missing three consecutive meetings does. For example, excessive tardiness, while disruptive, may not automatically lead to removal unless it becomes a pattern of behavior that impacts the board's function. Similarly, not participating in committee assignments or failing to submit progress reports affects the board's operation but is generally addressed through other measures before reaching the point of removal. The emphasis on three consecutive absences ensures that the board maintains active and engaged members essential for its functionality.
