NOTICE OF HEARING

Before a board can meet to consider imposing discipline upon a member, it must notify the member in writing, by either personal delivery or first-class mail, at least 10 days prior to the meeting (unless the governing document set a longer notice period). Civil Code §1363(h) The notice must contain the following:

• The date, time, and place of the meeting,

• The nature of the alleged violation for which a member may be disciplined, and

• A statement that the member has a right to attend the hearing, view the evidence of violation, and present a defense, including his/her own witnesses and documentary evidence.
