More details to this question:
I am concerned that this is going to cost me a lot of lost work. I have a contract with this company. This person lying has also lied about a previous board member. Is it possible I have a case?

You may have a claim for defamation if the person has knowingly published (i.e. communicated to people other than just you) a factual misrepresentation (not a statement of opinion) about you which is negatively affecting your business.
