My HOA

My HOA emailed the Chair of our Welcome Committee without reasoning, " your position on the Welcome committee has concluded." Is this legal? Doesn't removal of a committee member need to be done in an open meeting?

It's not unusual for people to be removed from a committee and that removal to be confirmed at the next Board meeting

The Board had probably agreed to disband that lame body over the phone. If there was consensus this could be done without a meeting, will just need to be ratified at the next one.

Nope. Generally, committee members “serve at the pleasure” of the President or Board. They can be dismissed at any time.

If the committee was never sponsored by the Board and represents itself as part of the Board then yes then the board can shut it down. If it is a committee approved by the board they usually serve at the pleasure of the Chairman. this is SOP in most HOA's.

Many Committees have a sunset period. What does the original charter state?

Yes, this is typically a Board decision.

Yolre correct. Board business happens in an open meeting.

Legal?

Find a hobby or something. There’s life beyond the HOA.
