No phone-y meetings. And no e-mail meetings either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bunch of phone calls. You can go purchase the item, put it on your credit card, and hope to all get-out that they will Ratify your action at the next meeting, but you know them better than I do. If they don't do that, you'll be left holding the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will likely need membership or board approval, depending on the bylaws and the nature of your organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
