Guest Jennifer Posted February 9, 2012 at 07:50 PM Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 at 07:50 PM Good afternoon,I have a complicated question for you.Two weeks ago we had a budget meeting at church. Several people who were not members attended the meeting and vocalized their dislike of the proposed budget. It was decided by the members to continue the meeting in one month, with no budget accepted.Since that time, the non-members who were in opposition have decided to become members before the next meeting. Since the meeting was carried over as opposed to being adjourned and a new meeting started, I am not sure if someone who was not a member when the meeting was called to order, and became a member subsequently, would be allowed to vote.Thank you so much for your time and attention,Jennifer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the bylaws may have something different to say about that, so it might be a good idea to check the bylaws to see if there is any such restriction.
