Can a BOD of a HOA remove a member from it's membership without prior notice to the person removed?

Additional Details:
I am a director on a HOA Board that recently removed a member without giving him an opportunity to
defend himself against charges. There are no bylaws describing the method to remove the member; they
simply did it. Several speeches were made regarding this person in which he was called "a woman
hater," and other vicious things. Can this be done without prior notice?

It depends on the terms of the HOA's governing document. Generally speaking, the core documents that created the HOA will govern who is a member and how he they can be removed.
