Procedure for changing date of meeting

[krst234]

Our annual board meeting has been scheduled and notice has been given of this meeting.

What is the proper procedure for changing the date of the meeting?

Is a vote of the board membership required to change this? At a meeting? With a quorum present?

Or would a few willy-nilly emails do?

Thank you.

RONR has no provision for changing meeting dates. You will have to look to your bylaws, or other rules, to see who, or what group, has that authority. Not to mention the authority to set the date in the first place.

If nobody does then you can't change. Be sure to show up!

If nobody has the authority to set date of the meeting? Or if nobody has the authority to change it?

Bylaws are silent - only specifying how many days notice required prior to meeting - and when, the annual meeting must be held (within first quarter of year).

If there is no provision in your bylaws for canceling (or re-scheduling) a meeting, it can't be done. The meeting can (and should) be held as scheduled. If enough members (a quorum) show up, business can be conducted. If not, the meeting will be brief.

Both actually. Who produces the notice and sets the actual date in that "first quarter?"

Once a notice has gone out (presuming, as seems to be the case) from the unnamed but somehow authorized body (Board?) or person, it would then be too late to change the date -- people make plans and the like.
