How to remove a Secretary of the Co-op. H. Society when he refuses to call meeting, not look after properly?

Answer 1

Options are limited. The secretary was elected. He does not call meeting nor he works for society. No one can call meeting of members except him.Chairman can, but the moment Chairman calls the meeting to oust the secretary, Secretary will approach Registrar that the notice inviting meeting is not legal. He may complaint against functioning of other members of the managing committee and the Registrar will dissolve the society and will take over. That will be suicidal.
Take a simple step. 99% of the members are not concerned with the working of soicety till all essentials are being maintained. Let the facilities crash once.Let members know who is responsible for the ills.
They will elect another secretary. Simple.

The first thing you need to do is to check out your Society's Rules and Regulations concerning meetings usually found in the Society's Legal documents drawn up when the Co-op first came into existence. All Societies need to have those registered with the firms legal advisors and they in turn will file the Societies legal documents with the local government agency that deals with those issues. To remain in good standing with the government this is usually done on a yearly basis by your lawyers (That is why you continue to receive bills from them even tho you never use them- just my lousy sense of humor showing through). The government will also have a generic set of guidelines that some Societies will use and are the minimum standard a Society needs to follow in order to remain in good standing. This might also have a section on the hiring and firing of board of directors which needs to be followed. And since in most cases this is a volunteer position they will probably have more lenient guidelines for dismissal then if it was a paid position. Check all this out as well as the standard Labor Employment Office for their guidelines on the subject. A word of caution before you even begin to discuss this with other board members or any members in general, take the temparature of other board members feelings on the subject of lack of meetings. If the others don't seem to care there should be some rules and regs regarding the amount of meetings held so make sure that this is not out of line. Your going to need majority support for this issue been brought up so check out what that is. And your going to be looked at as an instigator if anything else so be ready for some attacks back at you. Also you may want to consult I don't believe I am suggesting this a lawyer regarding this matter and there usually is a society set up be lawyers where you can receive 1/2 an hour or more advice for only a small amount of money. Also it might not be the directors lack of meetings that is I assume creating problems for your society it might be something totally different so heres a short read that you may want to look at: Welcome to the Board-Your Guide to Effective Participation-author Fisher Howe-Jossey-Bass Publishers. Make sure all your dishes are clean cause it could get ugly. These things usually are. Hope this helps or some of it helps. Have a great day unless you've made other plans.
