Ralph -- The Chairman of the Board needs to have a conversation, backed up with a wtitten letter (have him sign a copy for your records), with the member putting him on notice that he either has to adhere to the rules else he will be removed as a director. I'm sure your by-laws has a procedure -- it it does, then use that procedure. In any event, all the rest to the members (at least a mojority) need to agree with this approach.

Then, the very next time he breaks any rule, then remove him with a vote of the Board, all pursuant to the previous notice. It makes no difference what excuse he may have for the breach, he has to go.

Good Luck,

Howard, Indianapolis SCORE
