Board Member quit

We had a board member resign, after 3 weeks on board. She sent a letter with another board member with her keys, and her reasons for leaving accusing other board members of things that did NOT happen. She wants this letter read at the Homeowners Meeting. I as president see no reason to read this letter, it does not involve, any home owners. Why should we have to defend ourselves, against these things and explain what did and did not happen. This is just childness. I would like to say she resigned for personal reasons and leave it like that Any thoughts on this?

Certainly - everything is basically a personal matter. However, you can assume she will be bad mouthing the board to all who will listen. Has anyone confronted her to get to the bottom of the problem? Harold

Laverne,
I would write a very brief statement for the next meeting, stating that so and so has resigned from the Board for personal reasons. "Personal reasons" is what she did use as her excuse. That is all that you have to do. If she had not resigned yet, and she showed up and wants to resign the proper way, she must be allowed to read her resignation and all of the balony that is written on it. That's the way she should have done it so in hindsite, you are very lucky that she just did not have the courage to hang in there and face everyone. Don't feel that this is a bad thing that happened to your Board because it happens every day and everywhere. And thank gooddness that she is gone.

The resignation becomes official when it is accepted by the Board. That is placed in the minutes. Do that now for the record. Then, hurry to fill the vacancy. Everyone will forget about it in 2 weeks.
