This sounds like a very unproductive situation – the best remedy is at election time to elect new board members and whoever wrote the email, to lead the charge! Encourage neighbors to come and see what the board isn’t accomplishing; it seems it would be smart of other owners to step up to the plate. Owners don’t have much control unless they are sitting on the other side of the “table”.

What if the disruptive association member is a board member/board member’s family? The board always read us the speech ahead of time about how disruptions will not be tolerated but almost always a board member/or her spouse will start ranting at a homeowner during the course of the meeting, tempers will flare and the meeting will shut down with very little productivity. Agenda items that we want discussed are always at the tail end of the list of business and when productivity is shut down, people walk away and our agenda items never get discussed. Then the next homeowner’s meeting/board meeting is held months down the road. How can the rest of us homeowners control these circumstances and get some of our items discussed?

I am glad you asked, but it is complicated - in fact, about 40-50 pages complicated. That is why I offer a "Recall Guide" in my publications options on the Guru website for fifty bucks!
