The most recent post by mermaid 53 is thought provoking and an excellent contribution to the debate.
However, I disagree with one small aspect of the consideration of adherence to the Bylaws:
"Would mandatory bylaw education for their 1st 3 months on the board help?"
The Bylaws are written in simple, clear declarative sentences that a high-school student can easily understand (I've tested this). There is no need for education. And they do not need to be memorized. Using the "search" feature on a computer brings one to the relevant citation.
The fact is that the transgressions that have been made are because Directors do not follow the Bylaws if the Bylaws counter what those Directors want to achieve.
