Q Does the individual condo association board members and president have the legal
right to remove a treasurer from duties without due cause and deny a chance for
rebuttal?"
—Procedural Proponent
A “Almost every bylaw that I have seen authorizes the board to vote to elect or
remove the officers,” says attorney Marshall Dickler, a principal at the Arlington Heights-based firm
of Dickler, Kahn, Slowikowski & Zavell, Ltd., “There is no "cause requirement." There is no right to a hearing or to prevent
removal. Also, the board members elect officers pursuant to Section 18 (c)(d)
and (e) of the Condominium Act. They can vote at any meeting of the board to
remove an officer and replace that officer pursuant to Section 18 (c)(d) and
(e) and pursuant to Section 18 (a) 13 and the Not-For-Profit Act. Cause is not
needed.”
