All Board Meetings will be open to any and all Members of the
Association for observation; however, a Member who is not a Director
does not have any right to participate in a Board Meeting except as
may be allowed by the Board. The President may exclude from any
Board Meeting any Association Member who disrupts the proceedings
at a Board Meeting, or who refuses to yield the floor during any
Member-input portion of a Board Meeting. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Board may close a Board Meeting to Members and meet
in an executive session to:
(A) Consult with legal counsel;or
(B) Consider the following:
(i) Personnel matters, including salary negotiations and
employee discipline;
(ii) Negotiation of contracts with third parties;or
(iii) Collection of unpaid assessments.

Except in the case of an emergency, the Board may not meet in
executive session unless voted for by the Board in an open meeting and
the President of the Board states the general nature of the action to be
considered and, as precisely as possible, when and under what
circumstances the deliberations can be disclosed to Members. The
statement, motion or decision to meet in executive session must be
included in the minutes of the meeting.

All Board Meetings should always be open to all paid up members. If there is disruption during a meeting the decision should be open for the membership to vote with a show of hands to have the individual excluded from the meeting. This keeps the Board from excluding people who have legitimate issues needing to be addressed. Everything listed for the need for an executive session can be dealt with via other means, e.g. email or a phone call.
