Addressing a situation where a board member frequently arrives late to meetings involves understanding applicable rules and regulations governing the board's operations. Following state procedures for removal, if applicable, is a responsible and systematic approach.

This option emphasizes the importance of adhering to established guidelines and legal frameworks that govern board conduct and member responsibilities. Such procedures often outline not only the grounds for removal but also the requisite steps, which may include providing the member with notice of the issue, allowing them a chance to respond, and possibly conducting a formal vote after proper deliberation. This ensures that any actions taken are fair, transparent, and justifiable.

By contrast, simply discussing the issue amongst board members bypasses proper channels, which could lead to misunderstandings or unfair conclusions. Removing a member through a board vote without clear cause or adherence to procedures may create conflict and could potentially violate the rights of the member. Reporting the member to external authorities is typically an overly drastic measure unless there are significant breaches of ethics or law involved. Following state procedures allows for a clear path to address the issue while maintaining the integrity of the board and protecting all members' rights.
