QUESTION: I am the president of our association. Three directors want to change the time of our board meetings but a director opposes. Can we change it without her consent?

ANSWER: When it comes to meeting dates and times, directors should be sensitive to the needs of fellow directors and accommodate schedules whenever reasonable. However, boards cannot be held hostage to the schedule of a single director--they can change their meetings to accommodate the needs of the majority. Your opposing director can always attend by phone.
