How many consecutive meetings must a Board member miss before potentially forfeiting their seat?

In Pennsylvania, the specific guideline regarding the attendance of Board members stipulates that missing three consecutive meetings is generally the threshold for potentially forfeiting one’s seat. This rule emphasizes the importance of consistent participation in Board activities, as attendance is critical for maintaining functionality, accountability, and engagement in decision-making processes. Missing three meetings can indicate a lack of commitment or inability to perform required duties, thus justifying considerations for removal or replacement on the Board. Maintaining a standard for attendance ensures that all members contribute effectively to the collective governance and oversight that their roles entail.
