How to Overthrow a Committee?

We need to pass a motion of 'no confidence' in a committee member to get rid of them from the committee. There is no such thing as a vote of no confidence at either committee or general meeting level. The right way to remove a committee member is an ordinary resolution.

How do you get rid of a committee?

An Association may generally remove a Committee Member by means of a resolution in a general meeting or a special general meeting. If a Committee Member is to be removed, the chairperson must inform the Committee Member of the motion to have the member removed and the reasons for the removal.

How do you deal with a difficult committee member?

Hold a special meeting or retreat to renegotiate them. Ask all members to sign a statement confirming they understand what is expected of them. Try to find out reasons the COM member is not pulling his or her weight, particularly if this appears to be a new problem.
