Tim Wynn Posted November 20, 2012 at 09:18 PM Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 at 09:18 PM can membership decide time & place for general meetings or only the president?RONR doesn't give that authority to the president. Check your bylaws to see how the time and place is to be set. If the bylaws are silent, the assembly retains control over the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edgar Posted November 20, 2012 at 09:21 PM Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 at 09:21 PM can membership decide time & place for general meetings or only the president?As Mr. Wynn notes, the ultimate authority is the general membership but check your bylaws first. They should already establish a schedule for regular meetings (e.g. monthly or, at the very least, an annual meeting) and they might also provide for calling "special" meetings (for dealing with emergencies between regular meetings). The bylaws might only specify the date and leave the time and location up to, for example, the president, or the bylaws might be very specific.The fundamental principle to keep in mind is that all members have a right to be notified of all meetings (though in the case of regular meeting this might simply mean that they need to read the bylaws).
