The board started out with 14 members and some time last year 4 of these persons resigned, leaving 10 board members. With two more members of the board resigning today, we are left with only 8 out of a possible 14 directors.
While I do not know if the NHT act speaks to the minimum number of people, who should make up the board, I would want tot think that the board as it currently stands is not properly consituted and must be dismantled or new board members must be added in a hurry.
Can a lawyer out there speak to this matter for the public.
Is the current NHT board legally constituted given these two resignations ?
