So you want to get rid of your dictator director.
Recently I have been hearing from board members who are complaining about certain autocratic, Nazi-like directors who run the show and all the other directors are abdicating to them on whatever issues come before the Board. Several board members have resigned in the wake of this type of director, and those that remain are left to wonder what options they have.
I talk about this type of director in my book, Condo Living: A Guide to Buying, Owning & Selling a Condominium (Momentum Books, 2002), and the best way to deal with this director is to have him removed by the membership which usually requires fifty percent (50%) of the members. There should be political arguments as well as legal ones that can be made against the director and the members should ban together to get a petition to call a special meeting to remove the director. It is, of course, presumed that you have made efforts to talk reason to this type of individual but my experience has been that these people are so power hungry and head strong that they will not listen to reason, perhaps due to being in a position of power for the first time. If your association has such a director, it would behoove you to consult with a community association attorney to assist you in the removal process if that is indeed your option of choice.
