Guest Chris P Posted September 15, 2011 at 08:36 PM Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 at 08:36 PM Our group meets once a month for a meeting. Our chair sends out agenda's prior to the meeting anywhere from 2 days to the day of. Is there a rule as to when agenda's should be sent out? Several of us would like the agenda about a week in advance so we can inform the chair of any additions or changes.Thanks,Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted September 15, 2011 at 08:40 PM Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 at 08:40 PM Is there a rule as to when agenda's should be sent out? No. There is no rule in RONR that says that agendas must be sent out prior to the meeting. See http://www.robertsrules.com/faq.html#14 for details.

Guest Guest Posted September 15, 2011 at 08:48 PM Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 at 08:48 PM Ok thanks I wasn't sure. I have a book called "Call to Order" by Herb Perry. Last Print 2001. Under Agenda's it says "Ideally, a tentative agenda should accompany the notice of meeting to provide members with time to consider or research the items to be dealt with. "I was just hoping that this also came under Robert's Rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing in RONR requires or prohibits the mailing to members of an agenda or memorandum of the order of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several of us would like the agenda about a week in advance so we can inform the chair of any additions or changes.No, but the assembly can adopt such a rule if it wishes. Keep in mind that the assembly can also make additions or changes at the meeting itself, when the agenda is pending for approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
