. Any member may bring charges against an officer or director
by filing them in writing with the secretary of the association,
together with a petition which is signed by five percent of the
members, which requests the removal of the officer or director in
question. The removal shall be voted upon at the next regular or
special meeting of the association and, by a vote of a majority of
the members, the association may remove the officer or director and
fill the vacancy. The director or officer, against whom such charges
have been brought, shall be informed in writing of the charges
previous to the meeting and shall have an opportunity at the meeting
to be heard in person or by counsel and to present witnesses. The
person bringing the charges against him shall have the same
opportunity.
If the bylaws provide for election of directors by districts with
primary elections in each district, the petition for removal of a
director shall be signed by 20 percent of the members that reside in
the district from which such director was elected. The board of
directors shall call a special meeting of the members that reside in
that district to consider the removal of the director; and by a vote
of the majority of the members of that district, the director in
question shall be removed from office.
