The officer or director against whom the charges are brought shall be informed in writing of the charges previous to the meeting and shall have an opportunity at the meeting to be heard in person or by counsel and to present witnesses; the person bringing charges against him shall have the same opportunity. The officer or director may be suspended by a vote of two-thirds of the directors pending the hearing of such charges.

The board of directors shall call a special meeting of the members residing in that district to consider the removal of the officer or director. By a vote of the majority of the members of that district, the officer or director in question shall be removed from office.
