2006 New York Code - Removal Of Directors.

 
    §  63.  Removal  of  directors. Any member may bring charges against a
  director by filing them in writing with the secretary, together  with  a
  petition  signed  by five per centum of the members, requesting removal.
  The corporation may thereupon remove the  director  by  the  affirmative
  vote  of  three-fourths  of  the  members  voting  thereon  at a meeting
  promptly held after due notice in writing setting forth  accurately  the
  purpose  for which such meeting is called, provided that at such meeting
  not less than ten per centum of the entire membership  vote,  personally
  or  by  mail. The director involved shall be given a copy of the charges
  reasonably in advance of the meeting, and he and the  complainant  shall
  have  an  opportunity at the meeting to be heard in person or by counsel
  and to present and cross examine witnesses.
    In case the by-laws provide for election  of  directors  by  districts
  with  primary  elections in each district, then the petition for removal
  of a director must be  signed  by  twenty  per  centum  of  the  members
  residing  in  the  district  from  which  he  was  elected. The board of
  directors must call a special meeting of the members  residing  in  that
  district  to  consider  the  removal of the director in the manner above
  provided; and, by a concurrent vote of a majority of the members of that
  district voting thereon, such director shall be removed from office.
