Guest Marge Posted May 20, 2017 at 12:31 PM Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 at 12:31 PM Can a president alone (non-emergency situation) cancel a meeting, or does it have to be done in cooperation of the executive committee (officers of the association)?

Chris Harrison Posted May 20, 2017 at 12:35 PM Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 at 12:35 PM There is no mechanism (under RONR) for a meeting to be cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Brown Posted May 20, 2017 at 02:52 PM Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 at 02:52 PM Thanks Hieu. I knew I had seen that question in the last day or two. I would point out to our guest that even though there is no provision for officially canceling an already scheduled meeting, if the president does in fact announce that a meeting has been cancelled and if the numbers oblige and stay home, there is probably no harm done. On the other hand, if enough members to constitute a quorum do show up for the meeting, they can have the meeting and adopt motions just like they could at any other meeting. It could allow a small minority to adopt emotions with far-reaching implications. Therefore, trying to cancel a meeting when there is no legal mechanism for doing so can be problematic.
