The board chair or the vice chair can be removed upon a two-thirds vote of the directors then in office. Section 2.20 Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the directors may be taken without a meeting if all of the directors entitled to vote on the matter consent to the action in writing, such consents are filed with the records of the meetings of the directors. Such consents shall be treated for all purposes as a vote at a meeting. Emails (and other comparable modes of communication) shall be considered writing for the purpose of action by unanimous consent and elsewhere in these bylaws where action in writing is required.”
