Trustee unprofessional actions
Hi
We have a new trustee member who is giving us endless problems. She writes letters to the owners without our approval (the other trustee members) and then badmouth the trustees. I personally phoned her to inform her that she has no mandate to act on her own. She even apologises for "decisions" we made at a trustee meeting (which she attended). We will be having a meeting soon. Any ideas how to address this problem. She has a "click" of friends inside the complex, which in the past could only critise the trustees. Now they have somebody who are representing them, but her actions are extremely unprofessional.

RE: Trustee unprofessional actions
Hi, Hannetjie. When she was elected, was the new trustee given any information as to her rights and responsibilities under the Act? If not, this could be a starting point. Has she be given any specific task (or portfolio) as a Trustee? This might help to give her a specific focus, and make her feel part of the group. Just ideas.
Failing this, perhaps the Chairman should discuss her performance with her - better a one-on-one discussion to start with; before airing the matter at a Trustees' meeting (which could alienate her further).
Should the position become intolerable, a very last resort would be to call an SGM, with a proposal to remove her as a Trustee.

Hi
Thank you for the advice. We also determine that the person is currently under administration. Does this disqualify the person to be an trustee
RE: RE: Trustee unprofessional actions
Hi, Hannetjie, A trustee shall cease to hold office is he surrenders his esate as insolvent; or his estate is sequestrated. See PMR 13 which gives all the reasons for disqualification of a Trustee (you can read it on the Library pages of this site.)
