Guest Alyssa Posted September 20, 2013 at 04:37 PM Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 at 04:37 PM At a recent meeting, there was a quorum present when the meeting was called to order. Throughout the meeting, members left. By the time we had to take a vote on some business matters, there was no longer a quorum so a vote was not taken. Are we able to vote via email with the members that were present at the beginning of the meeting (this would be a quorum)? Or must we include every member of the Board (even the ones who were not present at the meeting at all)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your bylaws authorize voting by e-mail, every member of the board must be included unless your bylaws provide otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weldon Merritt Posted September 20, 2013 at 05:54 PM Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 at 05:54 PM If your bylaws authorize voting by e-mail, every member of the board must be included . . . .That doesn't mean that every member of the board actually must vote; but every member must be given the opportunity to do so. A member still may choose to abstain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
