Question How does one go about dissolving an inactive non-profit board.
Answer I have in my profile that this free forum is only for relevant IRS federal exemption issues of 501(c)(3) organizations. Your issues are controlled by state law and states may differ somewhat with how they would treat such issues. Even though this forum is not for such state law issues, I can inform you that the word "dissolve" is not used in connection with an inactive board. What is done is an election of a new board (with possibly first a removal of board members) or a court case filed by someone with legal standing in the organization (or the Attorney General), in which the court would be asked to reform the board.
First I suggest you look to the articles of incorporation and bylaws to see what is stated as to election and removal in reference to Board members.
