Any Board Member who fails to attend two successive board meetings may be deemed to have submitted a resignation, and the Board of Directors may declare the position vacant. If a vacancy occurs, the remaining board members may elect a successor to hold the position for the unexpired portion of the term vacated. A simple majority of the voting members of the Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum of all meetings thereof. The Board of Directors shall meet at least six times annually. Special meetings may be held at the request of the Chair or at least four members of the Board.
All meetings are open.
Such votes require approval of the majority of the entire membership of the Board, unless otherwise specified in these Bylaws or required by law. The results of a referendum shall control the action of the council and its board. At any meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is present, the vote of a majority of the board members present shall decide any matter brought before such meeting, unless otherwise specified in the Bylaws or required by law. Federal sector representatives who are prohibited by their agencies from voting on the MoROC board shall be considered liaisons to this Board. Those elected shall have Missouri Rural Opportunities Council Board experience.
