1) First, define expectations, mutual goals, rules and tasks If there is a board member who is not fulfilling their duties, define expectations and make sure everyone is aware of their responsibilities. You should take the time as a board to define your mutual goals, as well rules and tasks for each member. 2) Allow some time for correction Allow the board member an opportunity to correct their ways and show what they can do. 3) As a last resort, you may want to consider taking steps to remove the board member. A corporation can remove a board member by ordinary resolution and appoint another person in that member’s place for the remainder of the term. Learn more about passing an ordinary resolution on the Meetings page.
