A censure is a statement of reprimand, criticism and/or disapproval of a director, often accompanied by a request from the board for a director’s resignation. In cases of director misconduct or dereliction of duty, a board might pass and record in the meeting minutes a motion of and reasons for censure. Such situations might include, but are not limited to, breaches of fiduciary duty, failure to comply with an association’s code of ethics, meeting disruptions and disclosure of confidential information learned in executive session. Censure is distinguished from removal by the board of one of its officers and does not constitute removal from the board.
