Guest H.B.Hofmann Posted November 12, 2012 at 04:43 PM Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 at 04:43 PM Can a board member present a motion during a special member's meeting. Rumour has it that a director is going to Postpone all motions to the AGM , a 6 month delay. We are a non profit corporation with 300 members.

We are a non profit corporation with 300 members.If the board member is a member of the body that is meeting, he can do exactly what any member of that body can do. If this is a special meeting, only business mentioned in the call of the meeting is in order, though a motion to postpone a pending question is in order. A motion cannot be postponed beyond a quarterly time interval or beyond the next session, so six months would be too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeff Posted November 13, 2012 at 07:51 PM Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 at 07:51 PM Our HOA just called a Special Meeting. The notice says we will be voting on "proposals" and "proposed admendments" but doesn't say what they actually are. Can they do this? Don't they have to give us a heads up on what we will be voting on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Lages Posted November 13, 2012 at 07:59 PM Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 at 07:59 PM "Notice of the time, place, and purpose of the [special] meeting, clearly and specifically describing the subject matter of the motions or items of business to be brought up, must be sent to all members a reasonable number of days in advance." (RONR, 11th ed. p. 91, ll. 31-35; emphasis added).You as a group will have to decide whether your notice meets this criteria (for what it's worth, I don't think it does).

It seems you are even if that's not your intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems you are even if that's not your intent.I don't think so, since that quote from RONR comes under the heading of Special Meeting in Section 9 -PARTICULAR TYPES OF BUSINESS MEETINGS.
