§ 101140 Board Member Removal Authority

• •A board member can be removed at any time.
• •No cause or reason is required for removal.
• •Only the appointing body (the one that named the member) can do the removal.

A county health board member was appointed by the county commission. The commission decides they no longer want that person on the board and removes them, even though the member hasn't done anything wrong.

Because the commission is the body that appointed the member, they can remove the member whenever they want, without having to give a reason.
