Guest F.R.Pond Posted June 12, 2010 at 06:14 PM Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 at 06:14 PM Hypothetical Situation:If an organization's annual meeting is held at the home of a member and that member denies access (under threat of calling the police) to another member *and* 2/3 of the membership agree to deny access (meaning they do not wish to adjourn the meeting to another location), what is the proper course of action?

Or persuade two-thirds of the members who didn't show up to show up next time and take back their organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next step would be litigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
