Question about Board of Directors meetings for non-profits

I am a member of an NPO. Recently after being voted into a position over a long-time holder of that office by the BOD, I find myself constantly under attack for supposed violations of protocols that are non-existant.

Recordkeeping is a primary duty of this position as well as training and overseeing volunteers. The last office holder took over 1 year after my appointment to give me access to his records kept in a locked cabinet on property

The records when I inherited them had gaps of 2,3,4, or more years. I have been keeping the records in an up to date fashion either on my laptop(until I obtained access to his) or in paper form at the organisation's HQ, bringing them into sync on a monthly basis.

The records had until my tenure been kept under lock and key - now that is being argued as inappropriate.

Now if I miss a BoD meeting, my detractors call for closed sessions and begin to make motions in my abscence regarding my removal and supposed lack of proper record-keeping.

First can a BoD member be not informed of all BoD actions even from a closed session?

Second do I have to endure the constant accusations about my performance?

Third The records in question contain driving records should they be public?

Well, the board can do about whatever they want. If there's a record keeping issue maybe it's a job for the accountants if money's involved.

If you have a remedy for anything here it's a civil suit.
