new unresponsive board member

10 days have passed since a new nominee was voted in and there has been no response to 3 calls and 1 note left in his mail box by the acting President. I doubt he was interested in the first place, but was placed on the ballot by a pushey nominating committee in an effort to oust the existing Pres. Can the exising, active board members nullify the vote and re-instate the previous Pres. who received the next highest number of votes. We have enough to make a quorum.

Typically owners elect the BOD and then the BOD elects their Officers from among themselves.

Typically if a BOD vacancy exists the BOD can select someone to fill that empty BOD position. Generally the BOD will have to have a quorum among themselves and the nominated person must be approved by the majority of the BOD.

Often if the person who resigned was an officer, the BOD will hold a new election for officers when the new appointee comes on the BOD. The new appointee does not automatically fill a vacated officer position.

The Bylawas often state if the appointed/elected person will serve until the next election or until the end of the term of the person he is replacing, whichever occurs first.

This stuff ain't simple..........LOL

I seriously doubt you could nullify the vote.

Has the BOD called a meeting since he was elected?

Usually Bylaws say if one misses 3 meetings in a row, then they can be removed by the BOD. There might be something else about not showing, not being sworn in/accepting, etc.

Read the Bylaws...read the Bylaws....

you can't nullify a vote...what you can do is follow your documents as to when being non-responsive constitues resignation. If your bylaws are silent on this I would send a registered letter to him telling him he has 15 days to respond or you will consider his position resigned and then move onto filling a vacant board spot.

Thanks for all responses.
We might call(and post)a meeting, wait to see who shows, then try the registered letter. Our docs show if they miss two unexcused meetings, they can be terminated. Wish we could move ahead quicker. We will follow our docs.

Forget sending a registered letter. Just proceed with business as usual, including establishing your officers. After two consecutive meeting no-shows, the matter is resolved.
