Guest Ron Williamson Posted April 28, 2014 at 02:46 PM Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 at 02:46 PM I serve on a local little league board of directors. I would like to call an emergency meeting of the board of directors,but I can't find anything in our local by-laws pertaining to this procedure. We meet under Roberts rules so I am wondering if anyone can help me out with this procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted April 28, 2014 at 02:49 PM Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 at 02:49 PM 'Fraid not. According to RONR, if your bylaws do not contain any provisions for how special meetings are called, then you cannot have special meetings, period.

We meet under Roberts rules so I am wondering if anyone can help me out with this procedure? "Special meetings can properly be called only ( a ) as authorized in the bylaws (see p. 576); or ( b ) when authorized by the assembly itself, as part of formal disciplinary procedures, for purposes of conducting a trial and determining a punishment (see footnote, p. 661)." RONR (11th ed.), p. 92 If your bylaws don't authorize special meetings and ( b ) above doesn't apply, a special meeting cannot be held. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
