Guest a board member Posted March 20, 2017 at 02:47 PM Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 at 02:47 PM Are the words "this meeting is called to order" necessary to begin a meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted March 20, 2017 at 03:22 PM Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 at 03:22 PM No, but some sort of indication from the presiding officer that the meeting has (or is about to) officially begin is appropriate. Those words are as good as any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transpower Posted March 22, 2017 at 02:14 PM Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 at 02:14 PM Nope. Rapping the gavel at the beginning and end of a meeting works great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ed Posted March 22, 2017 at 03:45 PM Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 at 03:45 PM For a small group, something like "Okay let's get started" works as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
