<p dir="ltr">SO: Actually if there is such overwhelming desire to fire the CEO from the community, then it would indeed imply bad governance and the community should fire the Board for not performing her fiduciary duties by doing the needful (when required).</p>
<p dir="ltr">The one that hires fires and the one that elected should be empowered to remove. Community elected the Board, Board hires the CEO. I still believe it will be very wrong to expose Staff(CEO or other staff) to such removal option by the community while there is still an organisation Board existing.</p>

>> In the interest of good governance and proper respect of process and structure, I believe that the ability to hire and fire the CEO should remain solely with the Board of Directors. Nevertheless, the Board could consider providing a separate guideline(outside of the bylaw) that enables members to express their dissatisfaction about a particular CEO's action.<br>
