Our Bylaws allow a Chair to call a special meeting. They also allow for the Committee to call a special meeting..... "called by the Committee with a written request of 1/3 of the members, the Chair then has 15 days after such written request has been filed with the Chairman. Upon failure to do so, any such member can give notice 5 days before such meeting. Notices of special meetings shall state the purpose of such meetings." What I would like to know is this.....if the members submit a petition with the 1/3 of the members signatures and a stated purpose to discuss purchasing office furniture, can the Chair call the special meeting to discuss events instead or do they have to call the meeting to discuss purchasing office furniture?

The Chairman of our organization's Board of Trustees called a Special Board meeting with set agenda giving prescribed 3 day notice. During the "3 day notice" period, information came to the attention of the Chairman ostensibly with serious implication to the organization. In the view of the Chairman, divulging this information to the Board must be in "executive session" and cannot wait (certainly should not) until the next regular meeting of the Board or even waiting another 3 days to give the prescribed notice for another special meeting. Question: During a "called special meeting" would a motion to enter "executive session" to deal with a matter not on the published agenda be in order when the item may have serious implication for the organization?
