Guest TJG Posted June 26, 2017 at 02:10 PM Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 at 02:10 PM A quorum was present to call the meeting to order. Later in the meeting a motion was made and seconded to request a change in bylaws. However some members of the quorum had left the room. Can a vote occur without a quorum present even though the meeting was previously called to order with a quorum present? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted June 26, 2017 at 02:18 PM Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 at 02:18 PM No. Unless there is a state law to the contrary, once the absence of a quorum is noted, no further business can take place other than the four things permissible in the absence of a quorum. Those four things are to adjourn, take a recess, take action to obtain a quorum, and set an adjourned meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted June 26, 2017 at 02:20 PM Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 at 02:20 PM Guest TJG, I would also note that it would be highly unusual to be able to vote on a proposed bylaw change at the same meeting at which it is proposed. RONR requires previous notice of proposed changes and most bylaws do as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
