Most board members are elected, so the easiest would be to wait until they are up for reelection and run against them. If they are appointed, again, there are terms to the appointment so offer a replacement or put yourself up as a replacement. There are laws that govern such things on boards and types of meetings. I would "bone up" on these laws and have good reasons why you think a board member needs to be replaced. If it is a school board member, then, a special election is held because that person is usually recalled.
It depends on the type of board meeting and its guidelines, as defined in your governing documents. For example, if it is a special meeting called by board members and not by the president, only the items listed on the agenda can be voted on. If it is an open board meeting, then a majority of board members present may vote on an item. Perhaps board members vote and the president only votes when there is a tie, and so forth. Not all governing documents are the same, so review yours to determine how to proceed with a vote when fewer than all board members are present.
This means it is open only to board members, and not to the public.
A board meeting is an administrative meeting held by the board members of an organization. Most board meeting cover topics such as: establishing broad policies and objectives, ensuring the availability of adequate financial resources, approving annual budgets, etc. They are presided over by the chairman of the board, and all members of the board are responsible for voting on the issues and decisions discussed during the meeting. These meetings are often open to the public if the organization is publicly funded, and the organization is required to give notice in advance so citizens can attend.
Read your governing documents to determine who is responsible for leading a meeting. Often this is the president of the board. Board members may disagree with a president's position on a matter. Using Roberts Rules of Order -- usually a recommended template for the conduct of board meetings -- board members can out-vote a president on a position. A president who behaves badly during a board meeting -- and this is a different situation from a president with a firm position that other board members disagree with -- could be called out in a meeting for uncivil, rude or inappropriate behaviour by any board member or attendee. If a president's actions require an executive session -- for example, a collection action being taking against the president for not paying assessments -- the board can call an executive session without inviting the president. Best practices dictate that in this case, the association attorney be involved. Two tips that can be employed to potentially curb poor behaviour by anyone, include ending the meeting, and announcing according to your state law that the meeting is being recorded, and recording the meeting. If the president is leading the meeting and behaving badly, all board members and attendees can leave the meeting, leaving the president to preside over an empty room. If a meeting is recorded, best practices dictate that the transcript of the meeting be made public and the recording destroyed. Otherwise the recording can become evidence in a court of law and transcription of the recording an expense. In particular, your association attorney can advise you on a specific situation.

Read your governing documents to understand how long elected directors serve when no annual meeting takes place. As well, read there whether or not an annual meeting 'shall' take place, and the agenda items that must be addressed during such a meeting. Your state law may also cover these issues, and an association-savvy attorney can help you identify whether or not a law has been broken, whose fee you can share among all interested owners. The following assumes that the members want an active and involved board to conduct the business of the association. Read your governing documents to determine the appropriate process for calling a meeting of the members. Be prepared to include an agenda, to motivate members to attend the meeting -- here, to elect a new board of directors. Once a quorum of members is established -- or the percentage of members required under your governing documents to conduct the business called for in the agenda -- you can take the appropriate action. Include an association manager being paid by members' assessments, and leverage their expertise.
Board Books, Go To Meeting, Meeting Minutes are all examples of board meeting software. Board Paq is another example of board meeting software and it has a free demo to try.
The board members waited until a quorum was reached before starting the meeting.
Yes, non-board members can attend meetings, but this typically depends on the organization's policies and the nature of the meeting. For open meetings, stakeholders, members, or the public may be allowed to participate. However, for closed or executive sessions, attendance may be restricted to board members and specific invitees. It's best to check the organization's guidelines for detailed attendance policies.
The term you want is Resolutions. Usually, resolutions require a board vote to become part of the governing document set. And usually, board meetings are public meetings, with members attending who can witness board votes. Once a resolution has been enacted, your governing documents specify how a copy of the resolution must be sent to every member-owner. Resolutions of members are interesting information for the board, but can only be binding on the association if the members' resolution satisfies the percentage of ownership required to overwhelm your CC&Rs.
School board members are usually elected by the community during local elections. Some school board members may be appointed by local officials or governing bodies. Requirements to become a school board member vary by location but typically involve being a resident of the school district and meeting any age or education requirements.
Committee meetings and board meetings serve two different, though related purposes. The short answer is 'yes', a committee meeting is not a regular posted board meeting. Committee meetings are working meetings where there is no vote, only a discussion of options, presentation of research results. Usually one board member leads a committee and the remaining participants can be owners/ non-board members. Committees present their conclusions and recommendations to the board at board meetings. No minutes are required. Board meetings, unless they are executive or confidential meetings, are generally open for attendance by all members. Your governing documents specify the attendance, notification, agenda and minutes process for open board meetings.
