Guest Adrian Posted February 26, 2012 at 05:34 PM Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 at 05:34 PM can a proxy count toward achieving a quorum...there are 11 board members and our quorum requirement is half which would equal six (hard to get a 5 1/2!) if there are only 5 members present, but one person has the proxy of the sixth, is the quorum satisfied?

jstackpo Posted February 26, 2012 at 05:37 PM Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 at 05:37 PM Only if the bylaws allow for proxies AND state that proxies are counted in determining the presence of a quorum.That all has to be in your bylaws -- RONR doesn't recognize proxies, otherwise.

However, if your bylaws provide for a deviation from this principle, you must follow your bylaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
