. 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 5 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 charges have been
brought shall be informed, in writing, of the charges prior 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 the director or officer shall have the same
opportunity.

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 the 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.
