(1) Fraudulent conduct with respect to the association or its members;
(2) Gross abuse of the position of director;
(3) Intentional or reckless infliction of harm on the association; or
(4) Any other behavior, act, or omission as provided by the organic rules.
(b) A suspension under subsection (a) of this section shall be effective for 30 days unless the board of directors calls, and gives notice of, a special meeting of members for removal of the director before the end of the 30-day period, in which case the suspension shall be effective until adjournment of the meeting or the director is removed.
