Are there any consequences to a board having a meeting without posting it 48 hours in advance. This was a very deliberate action.

Other than opening themselves up personally and the HOA to potential civil liability I am not sure there are any immediate consequences.

This is a 'member enforced' type problem.

Yes, any actions taken at the/such meeting could be challenged if such would be necessary at a future date but you need to document the improper/non-existent notice.

If after explaining the staute requiring notice to the BoD they disregard your concern then rally the membership to recall the BoD members.

Susan...Peter raises a good point, unless they are trying to push through something controversial I think your efforts would be better spent first informing them that what they did was illegal both in writing and also at the public comment section of the meeting, and if that doesn't get their attention gather your neighbors.

If they are using this as an opportunity to "sneak" in a controversial decision I guess you would have pretty good legal standing to challenge it and make them do it appropriately.
