Guest Steven V. Agraviador Posted April 26, 2012 at 08:24 AM Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 at 08:24 AM In any meeting, if the bylaws states that a quorum consists of the presence of the majority members, how do we determine a quorum if we have 9 members, 15 members and 32 members?

Guest Edgar Posted April 26, 2012 at 09:44 AM Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 at 09:44 AM In any meeting, if the bylaws states that a quorum consists of the presence [a majority of the members], how do we determine a quorum if we have 9 members, 15 members and 32 members?A majority is simply "more than half". So divide by two and, if necessary, round up to the nearest whole number.9 divided by two is 4.5 so you'd need at least 5 members for a quorum.15 divided by two is 7.5 so you'd need at least 8 members for a quorum.32 divided by two is 16 so you'd need at least 17 members (more than half) for a quorum.(I assume you gave those numbers as examples, not that you have three different categories of membership.)

In RONR-Land, all members are created equal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
