can a meeting be held without its executive board members?

can a normal meeting be cancel due to no executive board members available to attend meeting?

[Joshua Katz]

Well, a meeting can be canceled only if your rules make allowance for canceling meetings.  But first, a meeting of whom?  If it's a membership meeting, the absence of board members shouldn't be an issue (unless you have so many board members that a quorum issue results...)  If it's a board meeting, it will be harder to hold it without board members.

its a general membership meeting where the entire board can make the meeting to conduct business and the president would like to reschedule the meeting for another day.

does the president or can the president have the authority to reschedule a general membership meeting? is there anything in Roberts Rules that allows for that?

[Bruce Lages]

Did you mean to say "where the entire board can not make the meeting..."?  Regardless, if this is a meeting of the membership, the board is only present as individual members of the general membership. The board doesn't conduct business at a meeting of the general membership - the membership itself is in charge of their meeting. As long as there are sufficient numbers of members present to satisfy the quorum requirement, the meeting can validly conduct any business within the control of the general membership. The president on his own can not reschedule a meeting unless your rules grant him that authority.

Ok. Thank you very much!
