I’m confused about how that would be done. Is there a procedure for removing board members? What’s the procedure for replacing members of either board if one were to resign? Who gets to decide? Are there limits on the board size or tenure?
I’m not asking the above to be provocative—internal company structure/dynamics is definitely not something I’m super knowledgeable about, so I’d be very curious to know.
In the UK, non-profits can be either member-based or not. I believe EVF is not member-based.
That means the board is accountable to itself. Only the board can appoint and remove Trustees.
This is one of the reasons why term limits are considered good practice. Based on the tenure of some EVF Trustees, it looks like term limits have not been implemented.
A UK charity can put rules in their governing documents on how to remove trustees. I don’t think EVFs governing documents are public, so we probably don’t know.
