Guest Gina Lancaster Posted June 17, 2017 at 06:42 PM Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 at 06:42 PM Is there a rule about the length of time needed previous to the annual meeting of a non-profit organization? Thank you, Gina L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted June 17, 2017 at 07:08 PM Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 at 07:08 PM Your bylaws probably contain a definition of what constitutes sufficient prior notice of a meeting. If the date of the annual meeting is specified in the bylaws, it may be that notice is not required at all, In general, if a particular number of days is not specified, RONR states that when prior notice is required it must be a "reasonable" time in advance. Yes, that's open to interpretation, and the membership has the power to interpret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Goodwiller, PRP Posted June 17, 2017 at 07:49 PM Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 at 07:49 PM Also, many states have adopted a "Non-Profit Act" that establishes minimum notice, quorums, etc. for organizations whose bylaws are silent. You can usually access your state's code from its Secretary of State's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gina Posted June 17, 2017 at 08:37 PM Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 at 08:37 PM Thank you for your replies. I will bring it up at our meeting and make sure we have something more specific than what we have now, which is nothing. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
