Guest JimmyB Posted June 21, 2011 at 12:37 AM Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 at 12:37 AM Thanks Chris,Our Board is choosing to have this meeting in secret I'm sorry I should have been more clear. Is it OK to do this and or is it legal is my question? We have had allot of issues with our BOD meeting in secret. I know in Public areas like School Boards this would violate the Brown act. Any thoughts?Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts?It violates no rule in RONR. Whether it violates state law is beyond the scope of this forum. You should consult a lawyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he get notified of the "secret meeting?" Why would the board need to notify all the owners of the meeting? Is that requirement somewhere in your governing documents? If the board doesn't call it a meeting, then maybe it isn't a meeting. Maybe they're just getting together to talk, in advance of a meeting?

Josh Martin Posted June 22, 2011 at 12:15 AM Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 at 12:15 AM Maybe they're just getting together to talk, in advance of a meeting?That seems to be the case, which is all well and good so far as RONR is concerned, but there may be legal complications depending on the nature of the organization and the state the organization is in.
